  11. The purpose of this project was to make a Pascal compiler which should satisfy
  12. the conditions of the ISO standard. The task was considerably simplified,
  13. because parts of the Modula-2 compiler were used. This gave the advantage of
  14. increasing the uniformity of the compilers in ACK.

  16. While developing the compiler, a number of errors were detected in the Modula-2
  17. compiler, EM utility modules and the old Pascal compiler.

  27. and Sonja Keijzer (Jut and Jul !!), Herold Kroon, Martin van Nieuwkerk,

  30. Special thanks are reserved for Dick Grune, who introduced us to the field of
  31. Compiler Design and who helped testing the compiler. Ceriel Jacobs, who
  32. developed LLgen and the Modula-2 compiler of ACK. Finally we would like to
  33. thank Erik Baalbergen, who had the supervision on this entire project and
  34. gave us many valuable suggestions.
