Hi,

I just stumbled over the UCSD P-System museum at
http://www.threedee.com/jcm/psystem/ and wanted to share my excitement.
Those were the times! There is even a link to the source-code of one of the
earliest Pascal-compilers/byte-code interpreters written by K. Jensen and
Nicklaus Wirth in 1973 at http://www.threedee.com/jcm/psystem/p2.zip.

That means this code by Jensen and Wirth is actually more than 30 years old
now. And it is still quite readable (if you ignore the all-uppercase style).

Now that is a catchy marketing slogan: "Pascal, still readable even after
thirty years ... !" ;-)
