Description:

!PC is an ISO Level 1 Pascal compiler. It is designed to be used with the
Desktop Development Environment supplied with Desktop C.  It may be used to
generate RISC OS desktop applications or relocatable modules written in Pascal.
The Pascal compiler contains a number of language extensions, and comes with
a set of header files is provided which allow Pascal programs to be linked with
the RISC_OSLib library provided with Desktop C.

You cannot use the Pascal compiler from the desktop if you do not have a copy
of the DDE which comes with Acorn Desktop C or Acorn Desktop Assembler.  You
can, however, use it from the command line although you will need a copy of
the C Release 4 library stubs to link any programs compiled with it.  If you
wish to compile the example program !Balls64 or any other Pascal program
using RISC_OSLib you will need a copy of the RISC_OSLib binary provided with
C Release 4.

A new version of the C Release 4 library stubs is now available in the file
a122st.uue.  After extraction the Stubs file should be placed in the
directory $.clib.o
