This is *not* the disk for ISO Pascal. S-Pascal was a separate product.
S-Pascal is a cut-down Pascal compiler that compiles a subset of Pascal
(no floating point etc.) to machine code, unlike ISO while compiles to
an intermediate code that is then interpreted by the ISO ROMs.
I have the ISO disk here (as well as the S-Pascal disk) and I'll dig it
out if you have any trouble getting it from any other source.
