Thanks Christian

       Where does the space.pa file need to be to be read in via ptr?

       find below an except,  from my personal notes I have taken when 
compiling
       the Pascal compiler mentioned below.
       Tha major issue was a CR/LF mismatch I faced because I used windows 
as host
       system.

       As an explanation to the symptom you are seeing is that the os8 
editor
       manages big source codes in units of pages marked by <FF>.
       This requires special treatment on every page end.

       Hope this helps,
       Christian


       Pascal Compiler

       Sources for the compiler can be found at: 
http://www.dbit.com/pub/pdp8/.
       A PAL8 version is
       http://www.dbit.com/pub/pdp8/nickel/langs/pascal/ascii/pascal.pa.

       It can be read into the simultor by attaching this ascii file to the 
PTR
       device:

       att ptr pascal.pa

       --

       .R PIP
       *PASCAL.PA<PTR:

       .R PAL8
       *PASCAL<PASCAL


       However at the present I receive a compiling error: PH 0200.
