Has anyone out there ever seen or heard of a UCSD p-machine for a
VAX ?  If not, where might I get a complete p-machine specification ?

Also, what is the status of the proposed international standard for
Pascal ?  Please post replies to the net.

I don't have specifics on the international standard
(although I'm sure it must have been approved as a standard by ISO by now).
Its designation is "ISO/DIS 7185".

The ANSI/X3J9-IEEE Joint Pascal Committee (JPC)
draft proposed American National Standard (dpANS) for Pascal
was approved as a standard by the IEEE Standards Board on Sept. 17, 1981.
ANSI also approved it (at some time unspecified in my copy of the standard).
The standard was derived from the second draft of ISO dp7185
(the 2nd draft proposed international standard).
The American standard is entitled 
"IEEE Standard Pascal Computer Programming Language",
and is designated "ANSI/IEEE770X3.97-1983".

I don't know of an implementation for a VAX, but the documentation that comes
with the p-System from SofTech includes the 'Internal Architecture Guide' which
describes pretty much everything you need to know (although it requires a bit
of reading between the lines).
