I'm trying to find out if any version of Pascal running on any machine
supports I/O on enumerated data types.  Example:

	type dayofweek = (monday, tuesday, wednesday, ... sunday);
	var day : dayofweek;
	.
	.
	.
	   read(day);

I think I've heard of versions of Pascal that allow I/O on enumerated
types, but I can't for the life of me remember any specifics.

Do you know of any versions of Pascal that can do this?
If so,
	Do you remember the name of the company/people who wrote the compiler?
	What are the capabilities/limitations of the implementation?

Please E-Mail me if you have any information on this.

Thanks.
