Riassunto:

A preliminary version of the programming language Pascal was drafted in 1968. It followed in its spirit the Algol-60 and Algol-W line of languages. After an extensive development phase. a first compiler became operational in 1970. and pUblication foll,:wed ,a year ~ater (see References 1 and 8. p.104). The grow~ng ~nterest ~n the development of compilers for other compu:ers called for a consolidation of Pascal. and two years of exper~ence in the use of the language dictated a few revisions This led in 1973 to the pUblication of a Revised Report and ~ definition of a language representation in terms of the ISO character set. This booklet consists of two parts: The User Manual. and the Revised Report. The Manual is directed to those who have previously acquired some familiarity with computer programming. and who wish to get acquainted with the language Pascal. Hence. the style of the Manual is that of a tutorial. and many examples are included to demonstrate the various features of Pascal. Summarising tables and syntax specifications are added as Appendices. The Reoort is included in this booklet to serve as a concise. ultimate reference for both programmers and implementors. It defines Standard Pascal which constitutes a common base between various implementations of the language. The linear structure of a book is by no means ideal for introducing a language. Nevertheless. in its use as a tutorial, we recommend to follow the given organization of the Manual.
