Subject: Pascal mode for emacs?
Newsgroups: net.lang.pacsal net.emacs

Is there a pascal mode for emacs with begin/end balancing, missing
semicolon detection, and automatic indenting?  I am interested in
any (nontrivial) subset or superset of these capabilities.

We have a mode which does automatic capitalizing of reserved words
(making them unreadable by our pascal compiler, Berkeley pc) leaving
comments alone, but I would like something more 'electric'.  Pascal
compiles very slowly on our system and any help in reducing dumb
errors will make life easier.

Am I asking too much of emacs?

	Thanks in advance,	Tom Melton
