Thanks. It is a miracle something survived on those floppies, let alone computer deaths... The directory they are under is called "Y2K Backup\MYFILES\Ancient Pascal Disk 3"...
I was asked how to install Pascal now, but I have no idea. I suspect the code relies on DOS and Turbo Pascal too much to run now without jumping through some hoops.
Pascal wasn't case sensitive, so it was mostly a matter of style.
On Modula-2 and Oberon languages and their descendants keywords are uppercase and the languages are case sensitive.
But you could anyway write in lowercase and let the editor format the code for you, no need for banging the shift key all the time. :)
Actually I kind of like having keywords as uppercase, it means on a poor man's teletype or modern black-and-white printer without formatting, it is easier to spot the keywords versus the rest of code.
For those not in the know, the first book ever bought from Amazon was Douglas Hofstadter's "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies : Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought"
On a related note, if you are interested in learning more about Godel and the Incompleteness Theorem and its significance, I recommend the book Incompleteness by Rebecca Goldstein.
I did that too; I remember the squares paper in the book. I see it in front of my eyes still. Good memories at some Portugal vacation with my parents in the 80s.
