[HECnet] Swedish Pascal under RSX-11M-Plus?

[Johnny Billquist]

By the way... I played around with Swedish Pascal a few years ago, for 
some needs I had for Pascal. I hit some snags with Oregon Pascal, and 
then tried Swedish, and realized the code generated is rather ugly, and 
it was going to be a gigantic effort if you ever want it to be able to 
run with split I/D space, so I gave up on it.

There is also the DEC PDP-11 Pascal, which I never tried getting to run, 
as it appeared it wasn't any better than Oregon.
