A PASCAL Compiler bootstrapped on a DEC-System 10

A new PASCAL (1) compiler, developed at the ETH Zurich (2), has been successfully bootstrapped on to a PDP-10 within 7 months by the equivalent work of 3 students. The approach differed from (3) insofar as no other computer has been used during this process. Our experience and conclusions concerning the bootstrap procedure, the compiler from which we started and the language PASCAL are reported.
