You're crazy.
Any USABLE version of Pascal is NON-standard... because anything which fits the definition of standard pascal is unusable (for example, a pointer to an array of 18 characters is different from a pointer to an arry of 19 characters, so they cannotbe used interchangeably within the same function).
Even Nicklaus Wirth said that Pascal is meant only as a LEARNING tool, and that real projects should be coded in Modula (Basically, Pascal is Modula with overly-strong variable typing).
