Abstract
This paper relates the history of an implementation of the language PASCAL on a minicomputer. The unnecessary difficulties encountered on the way, led the authors to reflect on the distribution of "portable" compilers in general and suggest some guidelines for the future.Their experiences described within show that it should be possible to implement a P4 Pascal system [1] on any 16-bit mini-computer in less than two man months, given an implementor already familiar with the target machine.
