"COMPAS" (COMpiler from
PAScal) - the compiler for educational aims.
It is dedicated for learning the principles of translation from high level
language Pascal to the codes of
"E97" processor.
"COMPAS" can help the teacher to explain many things: what is variable, it's
type and value, how the main algorithmic structures are realized,
what's the difference between parameter passing by reference or by value and etc.
"E97" handbook
"COMPAS" translates your Pascal program into
educational computer "E97" codes, which can be executed later.
"COMPAS" works with INTEGER, CHAR and BOOLEAN types, allows to organize ARRAY of them.
Conditional operator IF and all kinds of cycles (WHILE, REPEAT and FOR) are supported.
You can also use PROCEDURE or FUNCTION with some limitations.
MS DOS version of "COMPAS" was ready first. It can be run by typing in the command line
comp_de filename.ext
where comp_de is the name of my program and filename.ext is a full name
of the file with your Pascal program. The results of translation
will be saved to filename.cod file.
Then there was much more comfortable Windows version.
It has integrated environment, combining text editor and compiler, clear interface,
an easy system of navigation between operators code and demonstrative tables of variables and constants.
You really can explore, how compiler translates different programs.
New! Inspired by wide geography of my users, I wrote the third "COMPAS" version. It can translate into Intel processor code and even build standard stand-alone .COM-file, which you can run under MS DOS and Windows.
Two first version are free, v.3 is shareware.
Download last version from famous
Here you can download all versions of the program:
v.1: MS DOS (about 30K in zipped .EXE)
v.2: Windows (about 230K in zipped .EXE)
v.3: Windows, with Intel processor code (about 280K in zipped .EXE)
