I've never seen that but I'm on the other side of the pond.
In the US, Semper Software's Partial Pascal ran on the ZX81.

Partial pascal readily available but unfortunately no manual.

Re: Pascal for ZX81
I guess no one has figured out what commands exist on the 3 letter prompt.
From reading all the articles, it seems programs only run within the Pascal environment .

Have not tried it. I have figured out who wrote it, going to reach out to him soon.
Semper went on to make Modula-2 for the Mac.

Re: Pascal for ZX81
I know Pascal. That’s not the issue.
The problem is this implementation gives you a 3-letter prompt, Nothing happens no matter what I type. This software seems useless without it’s manual.
I’ve looked through the binary both in ascii and zxscii. There’s not recognizable words.
I have not tried all 110000 combinations of the 3 letters.
Re: Pascal for ZX81
that's becoming an interesting mystery, there are several references in archive.org talking about this product, but no clue on how actually using it
This article looks promising, though:
I'll try typing 'PRO'..

Re: Pascal for ZX81
one more doubt: Control Technology seems to have had a PASCAL language for the ZX81.
Semper Software was clearly advertising a simplified PASCAL subset specific for the ZX81.
They could have been 2 separate products.. but also a simple reselling operation.

Re: Pascal for ZX81
As stated before. I’ve seen all the ads. But no one has the manual.
The software is useless without the manual. It requires 3-letter commands that no one can guess.
