June 2004 through May 2005


 

 

1.  Executive Summary

 

The status of the Pascal committee is in “Maintenance”.  This corresponds with the Pascal and Extended Pascal standards projects, which are in maintenance mode.

 

No meetings were held in 2004 and to date in 2005.  All committee business is conducted via e-mail, telephone calls, and post.  The last committee meeting was in April of 1995.

 

Membership remains stable, as it has been for years, at four principal members.  The positions of Vice Chairman, International Representative, and Vocabulary Representative remain vacant.

The only question that came to the committee was a question of whether INCITS 124.2-1988 [1999], Information Systems Computer Graphics - Graphical Kernel System (GKS) Pascal Binding works/is compatible with Turbo Pascal 7.  The answer was "Unknown" as no one is familiar enough with Turbo Pascal 7.
