[I recently posted a similar request to comp.lang.pascal with little
response]

Can anyone give me some information on Apollo's Pascal compiler?
I plan on using it for a course in the Fall.  Does it have a
corresponding interpreter?  Profiling capabilities?  Other tools
and/or utilities?  Is it bsd-like?  ISO compliant (apparently, it
isn't Level 1 compliant, e.g., conformant arrays)?

It's been a while since I've used Pascal, and I'm unfamiliar
with the ramifications of the ANSI & ISO standards.  Does the
provision for directives such as EXTERNAL give implementations
a way to support separate compilation?

Thanks for any information.
