8086
PASCAL
LIMITATIONS
The
current
version of 8086 Pascal, V 1.1,
is
being shipped with the 8500 Pascal Language Reference
Manual
rather
than
the 8086 Pascal Language Reference Manual
that
was shipped with V 1.0. A Technical Note was
omitted
from this manual
stating
the limitations of V 1 of 8086 as compared to 68000 Pascal and Z8000 Pascal.
The
note should read:
Version
LX
of the 8086 Pascal has the following limitations:
•
Constants
of type
ARRAY
and
RECORD
are
not
available.
•
Procedural
and functional
parameters
are
not
available.
•
The
standard
procedures
PACK
and
UI\jP
ACK
are
not
available.
Version
LX
of 8086 Pascal also only
supports
64K of code and 64K of
data.
Version
2,
available second
quarter
of 1984, will
support
all the features as
stated
in the 8500 Pascal Language Reference Manual, as well as full
memory
support.
The 8086
Pascal
Data
Sheet
is
correct and a change notice sheet has been
added
to
the
manual.

and for

reversed.
To

must
be changed:
