This is cross-posted to both H390-VM and Hercules-390

The Stanford Pascal Compiler release 2023.01 is now available for Windows, OS/2, Linux etc. - and for VM/CMS and MVS (or z/OS) on IBM mainframes or Hercules

New features:

- CONST parameters now work with RECORDs and ARRAYs, too
- Types on parameter lists can be specified more flexibly (complete TYPE syntax, not only identifiers)
- Pointer types on function results can be specified using the arrow symbol
- LEFT and RIGHT string functions now work correctly when the second parameter is zero (null string is returned)
- a strange and difficult error in PASCAL2 (IBM 370 code generator) related to literal handling has been fixed
- PASCAL2 now is compiled with the D+ (debug) option, which involves many run-time checks and makes the PASCAL2 execution much more secure
