On a transportable high level language for minicomputers
A. Ian Stocks, Jayant Krishnaswamy · ACM SIGMINI Newsletter · 1976
This paper describes a high-level, PASCAL-based language, which is easily implementable on minicomputers with limited amounts of memory. The added features include a machine and operating system---independent formalism for describing file structures, and allow either compile time or runtime specification of the actual-formal file correspondence. A similar formalism for handling program overlays is described. These constructs are implemented in a manner consistent with the underlying language PASCAL, and allow one to easily write operating systems components.
