!Disk Directory
At line 431 added 10 lines
This option will provide you with a list of all, or selected,
files on one of your disk drives. You will receive the prompt
'Filespec?'. If you just press RETURN at this point, you will see
a list of all files on the default drive. If you enter 'D2:', you
will see all files on drive 2. To show only selected files, use
wildcards in the normal manner. For example, enter 'D1:INIT.*' to
show only files named INIT with any suffix from drive one. At the
end of the list, you will be prompted to press any key to
continue. After pressing any key, the Main Menu will be
re-displayed.

!Compile Program
This option sends you directly to the Pascal compiler. You will be
prompted for the name of the program to be compiled, after the
Compiler is loaded. If you have already edited, compiled, or run a
program, the name will be shown and may be used by just pressing
the RETURN key. For more information, refer to the section of this
manual on 'The Compiler'.
!Edit a Program
Control is transfered to the Draper Pascal Editor when this option
is chosen. For more information, refer to the section of this
manual on 'The Editor'.
!Exit to DOS
Pascal execution is terminated by this option. Control is passed
to the Disk Operating System.
!List a file
This convenience entry is provided to allow you to view, on the
screen, any text file on disk or tape. You are prompted to enter
the name of the file to be listed. The file is assumed to reside
on the default drive if a colon (:) is not found within the name
you specify. At the end of the list, you will be prompted to press
any key to continue. After pressing a key, the Main Menu will
appear again.
!Trace on
The wraparound internal trace may be turned on (or off) with this
option. The trace is used only for debugging purposes and may be
viewed at program termination time by pressing CTRL-T. Program
execution speed is slightly degraded while the trace is active.
You will be prompted to enter the number of trace entries to be
maintained by the system. Each trace entry requires 10 bytes of
storage at the high end of memory. The trace may not be used
during graphics displays because screen memory is also at the high
end of memory. To turn the trace off and remove the memory
allocation of the trace table, enter zero when prompted for the
number of entries to maintain. The trace format is described in
the manual provided to registered users.
!!The Editor
The Editor is used to create, modify, and save Pascal source
files. It may also be used to process other text type files, like
BASIC programs which have been LISTed to disk or tape. It is a
line oriented editor. Combined with some type of formatting
program, it may be used for word processing applications. The
entire source to be edited must be in memory at one time. If your
Pascal program will not fit within the limits of the Editor, then
you can use the INCLUDE feature of the Compiler to allow segments
of a program to be edited separately. Refer to the section on "THE
COMPILER" for more information on the INCLUDE feature. Source code
for the Editor is listed in the manual provided to registered
users. Some key points to be noted about this editor are as
follows:
# Each line is referred to by line number, however, no line numbers are stored either internally or on the disk or tape.
# Each line may contain up to 80 characters. This may be changed by altering the constant called MAXLENGTH and re-compiling the Editor. A source listing of the Editor is provided to registered users.
# A maximum of 250 lines of text may be edited at one time. This may be changed by altering the constant called MAXLINES and re-compiling the Editor. An increase in MAXLINES should correspond with a decrease in MAXLENGTH, and vice versa. A source listing of the Editor is provided to registered users.
# When entering or editing a line, the line must be terminated by pressing the RETURN key.
# As lines are inserted into, or deleted from, the source file, the remaining lines are automatically renumbered.
# A line of source may extend onto more than one screen line.
# Due to operation of the Atari operating system, a blank line may not be directly entered. To enter a blank line, you must first enter a non-blank character (like a period), then use the Editor Change command to change the character to a space.
# Input operations (Append and Insert) are terminated by entering a null line (just pressing the RETURN key).
# The BREAK key is disabled by the Editor to prevent loss of data. It is enabled again at termination of the Editor.
# If you enter or change data then try to Quit or exit to the Compiler without first saving the data onto disk, you will receive an option to either save the data or ignore it and continue.
# Cassette tape files may be loaded, edited, and saved by the Editor. The Compiler does not support tape input, though. You would first have to load the file from tape, with the Editor, then save it to disk.

EDITOR COMMANDS
General Prompts
The following prompts are general in nature and are common among
many of the editor commands to be described below.
Line ->
You are prompted to enter one line number, as opposed to a range
of line numbers. It is used by the INSERT Editor command and
refers to the line before which the inserted line(s) will be
placed.
Line from ->
This is the first prompt for a range of line numbers. Enter the
low number of the range. If you just press RETURN, line number 1
is assumed.
Line to ->
Enter the high line number in the range desired. If only one line
is to be acted upon, that number must be entered in both this
prompt and the one mentioned above. If you just press RETURN, the
highest line number in the buffer will be assumed. If the number
you enter is less than the 'Line from' value, the 'Line from'
value will be used here.
18
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Editor
Enter filename ->
This prompt is shown when loading, appending, and saving files.
The last filename used is filled in after the arrow. If this is
the file you wish to use now, then all you have to do is press
RETURN. A full filespec may be entered, but is not required. If a
colon (:) is not found within the filename specified, then the
default drive is assumed. If the filename given does not contain a
period (.), then a suffix of .PAS is assumed.
The Commands
A - Add line(s) at end
This command is used to add lines after the last line currently in
the buffer. If the buffer is currently empty, then line 1 will be
assumed as the starting point. In this manner, you can create a
new file if one has not been loaded. You can append as many lines
as you like. When you are finished entering lines, just press
RETURN without entering any data on the line (null line).
Prompts used: None
C - Change line(s)
The Change command allows you to change one specified string
pattern to another for the first occurance in each line within the
range of lines specified. After being prompted for the line number
range, you are asked for the data to 'Change from ->' and 'Change
to ->'. Enter any string of characters at each prompt. Imbedded
blanks are allowed. If you just press RETURN for the 'Change to'
prompt, the first occurance of the 'Change from' data within each
line will be deleted.
Prompts used: 'Line from', 'Line to', 'Change from', 'Change to'
D - Delete line(s)
This command allows you to delete a line or a range of lines from
the file in memory. The whole file in memory will be deleted if
you just press RETURN when prompted for both 'Line from' and 'Line
to'. Be aware that all lines following the range deleted will be
renumbered, to fill the gap just made. If you desire to delete a
number of line ranges, delete those with the highest numbers first
and proceed toward the beginning of the file. That way, you won't
have to do a LIST after each range delete to find out what the new
line numbers for the following lines are.
Prompts used: 'Line from', 'Line to'
19
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Editor
E - Edit line(s)
The Edit command is used to edit (or make individual changes to) a
line or range of lines that already exist in memory. If a range is
specified, the lines are presented to you one at a time. As each
line is presented, you may use any of the normal Atari editing
keys (like right and left cursor, insert, delete), to alter the
data. Just press RETURN when you are finished with each change. If
you don't want to make a change to a line shown, just press
RETURN.
Prompts used: 'Line from', 'Line to'
F - Filer menu
The Filer is a subsystem which handles communication with an
external device (disk or tape). The features provided are as
follows:
A - Append file
A file is read from disk or tape and added to the end of the
file currently in memory. The data in memory prior to the
append remains unchanged.
Prompts used: 'Enter filename'
D - Directory list
This command is used to provide a directory list of the
different files on a diskette. You are prompted for
'Filespec?'. Enter the disk drive number and selection
criteria for the directory list. If you just press RETURN you
will see a directory list of all files on the default drive.
To see all files on drive two, enter 'D2:' or 'D2:*.*'. To see
only files with a suffix of PAS on drive one, enter
'D1:*.PAS'.
Prompts used: 'Filespec?'
L - Load file
This is the way to load a file into memory from disk or tape.
If any data was currently in memory, it is deleted and
replaced by the file read in.
Prompts used: 'Enter filename'
20
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Editor
S - Save file
Data is copied from memory to disk or tape with this command.
The data currently in memory remains unchanged. You are
prompted for filename and may use whatever name you wish. It
is not necessary to save a file under the same name as was
used to load the file. You should save data to disk frequently
if you are making extensive changes. That way you won't have
to re-do as much if something goes wrong.
Prompts used: 'Enter filename'
I - Insert before line
This command allows you to insert one or more lines at any point
within the file in memory. The inserted data is placed before the
line number you specify. To terminate insert mode, just press
RETURN without entering any data on the same line (null line).
Note that all lines after the point of insertion will
automatically be renumbered.
Prompts used: 'Line ->'
L - List line(s)
One or more lines of data from memory are listed on the screen
with this command. During the list, you may stop the scrolling by
pressing either the space bar or RETURN. To resume scrolling,
press any other key other than ESC. The ESC key may be pressed to
prematurely terminate the listing.
Prompts used: 'Line from', 'Line to'
M - Menu
The main Editor menu is presented in response to this command. A
question mark (?) may also be used to display the main menu.
Prompts used: None
P - Print line(s)
This command is used to create a list of data in memory on a
printer attached to the Atari parallel port (P:). Internal line
numbers are also directed to the printer although they do not
actually exist within the file on disk or tape.
Prompts used: 'Line from', 'Line to'
21
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Editor
Q - Quit
This command is used to exit from the Editor when you are finished
editing your data. Control is given to the Main Menu program. If
you have changed the data in memory and have not saved it prior to
quitting, you will be given the option of saving the data or
ignoring the changes and exiting. If you are going to compile a
Pascal program immediately after quitting the Editor, you may use
the 'X' command described below.
Prompts used: None
S - Scan line(s)'
This command allows you to display all lines within a specified
range which contain a specified character string. The character
string may contain any characters, including imbedded blanks. To
temporarily stop the listing, press either the space bar or
RETURN. To abort the listing, press ESC. Press any other key to
continue as normal.
Prompts used: 'Line from', 'Line to', 'Scan for'
X - Exit to Compiler
This command terminates the Editor and transfers control directly
to the Compiler. If the file in memory has been changed but not
saved prior to the Exit command, you will be prompted to either
save the file or ignore the changes and proceed to the Compiler.
Prompts used: None
22
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Compiler
The Compiler
The Compiler is used to translate words that we humans understand
into "words" that the computer can understand. The computer words
are referred to as pseudo-code, or p-code for short. These
pseudo-code instructions are understood and executed by the
Supervisor.
This is a single pass goal oriented compiler. It expects the
proper syntax for a statement. If correct syntax is not found, the
compilation stops, and an error number with associated text
description is displayed. At this point, you are given the option
of quitting or returning to the Editor to correct the problem and
do the compile again.
The Compiler itself is written in Draper Pascal and occupies about
28K of RAM memory space.
The first prompt from the Compiler is 'Enter filename:'. The name
of the last program edited, run, or compiled is filled in for your
convenience. If this is the one you want, just press RETURN. If it
is not the one you want, just overtype it with the name you
desire. The name you provide will become the new default name for
the Editor, Compiler, and Main Menu 'Run' option. No suffix is
allowed when specifying filename. The Compiler will add the
standard '.PAS' to it for you. If the source does not reside on
the default disk drive, then you must prefix the filename with
'Dn:' where 'n' is the disk drive number where the source resides.
The default disk drive is normally disk drive number one, but is
changed to the Ramdisk drive number if you are taking advantage of
the Ramdisk feature of a Disk Operating System that supports it.
Ramdisk initialization is explained in the manual provided to
registered users.
The next prompt is 'Enter List Output Filespec'. The default (if
you just press RETURN) is the screen (E:). The list output may go
to any normal output device, such as printer (P:) or disk
(D:LISTNAME.PRN).
A number of additional points are mentioned below:
1. Comments are delimited by '(*' on the left end and '*)' on the
right end. Any characters may appear within comments. Comments
may appear anywhere within the program.
2. 'Include' files are supported. You may have procedures,
functions, or any part of a program included in a compile,
even though it is not actually part of the file being
compiled. It is a variation of a comment which allows you to
do this. The format is as follows:
(*$I XXXXXXXX *) or (*$I D1:XXXXXXXX *)
23
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Compiler
The dollar sign and 'I' must be right next to '(*' and must be
followed by one space. Then you may mention the 'D' for disk
and drive number (if other than the default drive is to be
used). Follow it with a colon (:) and the filename. A suffix
of '.PAS' will be automatically added to the file name. Then
have at least one space and '*)'.
3. Pascal source files must reside on disk.
4. The output pseudo-code from the compile will be directed to
the same disk drive that the Pascal source resides on. It will
be created with a filename suffix of '.PCD'. If you have
multiple disk drives and the source and pcode will not both
fit on one disk, have a small file on the output disk with an
'include' for the source which resides on the other disk.
5. The hexadecimal offset of the pseudo instructions generated is
given at the left side of the output listing. This offset may
be useful for debugging purposes. It may be referred to when
looking at a program trace (see TRACEON in the Pascal
Definitions section of the manual provided to registered
users). It also may be referred to in case of an error message
or termination caused by pressing the BREAK key. The offset
shown may not always be accurate. If not exact, the values are
very close.
6. The name and stack offset of each variable defined is shown at
the end of the compile listing. The offset value is shown in
hexadecimal. Each stack entry is two bytes wide. The first
three stack entries are reserved for system use. Therefore,
the offset of the first variable will be 0003, which is
actually six bytes into the stack. If a variable is defined
within a procedure or function, the offset shown is relative
the beginning of that procedure or function.
7. The program is ready to run immediately after the compile is
finished. No linking is required. (Some Pascal systems require
linking of output code after the compile and before
execution).
8. Nested procedures are supported. You may define one procedure
within another.
9. Recursive procedures are supported. A procedure may call
itself. If variables are defined within the procedure, they
are cleared with each entry into the procedure and refreshed
upon exit from the recursive procedure call.
10. No forward references are allowed. A procedure may not be
referenced before it is defined. In most cases, nesting the
procedures will take care of this problem.
24
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Compiler
11. Double density disk drives are supported for both source and
pcode files. The pcode will be written to the same drive that
the initial source is taken from.
12. Only integer type parameters may be passed to procedures and
functions. Other types of data may be passed by using global
type variables setup at the beginning of the program (not
within a procedure or function).
13. A function may only return an integer type value. Procedures
do not return values.
14. Hexadecimal constants and literals are prefixed by dollar
signs ($).
15. To write out an integer in hexadecimal format, precede the
variable name with a percent sign (%).
16. A total of 170 compiler table entries may be used. One table
entry is used for each variable definition, procedure name,
function name, and parameter name used with procedures and
functions. Table entries for variables defined within
procedures are re-used following the 'END' for that procedure.
The number of table entries used within a compile is displayed
at the end of the output list from the Compiler.
17. The time needed to compile a program can be reduced by turning
off the ANTIC chip within the computer. This turns off the
display to the screen yet gives a fairly significant increase
to the Atari's internal speed. In a normal Pascal program, you
can have POKE(559,0) to turn it off and POKE(559,34) to turn
it back on. But a special compile time option is provided to
make use of this feature to speed up compiles. It is as
follows. Have a statement (*$S+*) to turn the ANTIC off
(increase speed), and use (*$S-*) to turn the ANTIC on (resume
normal speed). These options may appear anywhere within a
program. The ANTIC is automatically turned back on at compile
termination and at time of error (if any).
25
Draper Pascal 2.1 The Supervisor
The Supervisor
The Supervisor is a high performance machine language program
which simulates a pseudo 16-bit stack oriented computer. It
executes the pseudo code that is generated by the Compiler.
It is loaded into memory by disk operating system at the hex
location $1D7C, which is just above DOS in memory. It should work
with any DOS that allows a program to load at that address, such
as Atari DOS 2.1S, Atari DOS 2.5, or SpartaDOS version 2.x or
higher. A message will be displayed if the Supervisor cannot be
loaded at the proper location.
The disk filename for the Supervisor's object code is
'AUTORUN.SYS'. It may be renamed to anything you desire, such as
'PASCAL.COM', but will not be automatically loaded when the disk
is booted if the name is other than 'AUTORUN.SYS'. To start the
Pascal system from the DOS menu, use the 'L', binary load, option
to load 'AUTORUN.SYS' into memory. Execution will begin
automatically.
The Supervisor begins execution by loading and executing the
Pascal program 'INIT.PCD' from the default drive, which is always
disk drive 1 immediately after loading the Supervisor. 'INIT.PCD'
is the name of the main menu program. You may substitute any
compiled Pascal program of your own by naming it 'INIT.PCD'. In
this manner, you can have a true turnkey system where your program
begins execution after booting the disk.
After termination of each Pascal program, the Supervisor gives you
a choice of what to do next. You are prompted with the following
line:
<START>Repeat,<SELECT>Menu,<ESC>Exit
If you press the START key, your Pascal program will execute again
from the beginning. If you press the SELECT key, control will be
transfered to the main menu program (INIT.PCD). If you press the
ESC key, you will exit to the DOS utility menu. You also have two
other options at this point. They are both used for debugging
purposes. If you press CTRL-S (the 'S' key while holding down the
CTRL key), the stack values, at termination time, will be
displayed. If you press CTRL-T, the internal trace table, if
active, will be displayed. With either of these two debugging
options, you will be asked where the display should be sent by the
prompt 'WHERE? (FILESPEC)'. To see it on the screen, enter 'E:'.
It also may be sent to printer or disk by following normal
filespec naming conventions. If the display is sent to the screen,
you may stop the scrolling by use of the space bar. Press the ESC
key if you have seen enough and wish to return to the Supervisor
termination prompt. Any other key causes scrolling to continue as
normal.

Draper Pascal 2.1 System Information
System Information
The Supervisor uses zero page locations $A0 - $BF. Locations $80 -
$9F are available for your use if desired. Various locations
between $D4 and $FD are used by the floating point routines. Page
six ($600 - $6FF) is available for your use and not used by the
Pascal system.
The Supervisor is loaded into memory by DOS at the address $1D7C.
If this memory location is not available, then an error message is
given, along with an explanation of the probable cause of the
problem. The pseudo code program to be executed is loaded in
memory immediately after the end of the Supervisor. The pseudo
machine stack extends from the end of the pseudo code program to
the MEMTOP position, just before screen memory.

Draper Pascal 2.1 Error Messages
EXECUTION TIME ERROR MESSAGES
INDEX TOO HIGH
This message occurs if an attempt is made to
store a string array element into an occurance
that is higher than defined for the variable.
For example, if you tried to store the
twentieth entry of an array that was only
defined to hold ten occurances, you would get
the message. This message only applies to
string arrays since other array types are not
checked for valid occurance numbers.
UNABLE TO OPEN DEBUG IOCB (7)
This message is issued if the list output
device you specify in response to the 'WHERE?
(FILESPEC)' prompt cannot be opened. The
prompt is issued only for the debug features
trace and stack display.
CIO ERROR xxx FOR IOCB # y
Some kind of Input-Output operation was
performed which resulted in an abnormal return
code from the Atari operating system. Refer to
your BASIC or DOS manual for the meaning of
the error number 'xxx'. 'y' is the IOCB number
which the error occured on. Note that this
message will not be printed if OPTIONS(0) is
in effect. In this case it is your
responsibility to check the return code by
interrogating IORESULT after each I/O type
instruction.
AT OFFSET
This message accompanies some other error
message and refers to the offset within the
pseudo code of the instruction that had the
error. Refer to the offset shown on your
compile listing to determine the Pascal
instruction that experienced the error.
36
Draper Pascal 2.1 Error Messages
STOPPED BY <BREAK> KEY
This message indicates that execution of the
program was stopped because the BREAK key was
pressed. The offset of the instruction
executing is shown in the 'AT OFFSET' message.
Note that this message will not occur (and the
program will not stop after BREAK is pressed)
if OPTIONS(4) is in effect.
INSUFFICIENT MEMORY
This message indicates that an attempt was
made to increase the value of the stack
pointer to a value which would overlay screen
memory or the trace buffer, if the trace was
active. It may also be caused by manipulation
of a record without sufficient room between
the top of the stack and the top of available
memory (MEMTOP) to temporarily hold it.
INVALID OPCODE
This message should not occur. It indicates
that a pseudo instruction was encountered
which is invalid. If you get this message, it
means that your '.PCD' file has been corrupted
somehow or an XCTL was made to a file that was
not a pseudo code file. To correct, re-compile
the program in question. It may also occur if
you attempt to run a Draper Pascal program
which was compiled under a previous release of
this software.
