Pascal-P4 is a Pascal subset. Pascal-P5 is full ISO 7185. Pascal-P6=20
is an extended Pascal. P5 is 1.3, so yes, pascal-p5_1_3.tar.gz.

 It's been a while. For my program to directly access files in the
 local diretory I have a script that adds assignments. These are
 non-standard as I understand it (that is, they would differ by
 differenting operating systems). There were some special compiler
 directives. They were incorporating things and maybe the latest
 version (which I have not gotten) is easier to compile with. I would
 have to dig around to find more details.

 I see I have a directory for P4. Apparently I played with it in 2015
 according to my notes. This is from my notes [2015 Nov 17]:

 I also have a directory for p5c ... and we communicated in 2016!
 You asked if it would be ok to put copies of my code online (yes).
 You mentioned:

 https://sourceforge.net/projects/pascalp5/

 I don't understand the difference between p4 and p5. I see p6
 is under development. If I try it, should I use:

 I'm not particularly 'advanced' - I just have a large legacy of Pascal
 programs that I use for understanding a fundamental theory of biology.

 Ok.
