Early approaches (most notably the UCSD system) translated Pascal code into a machine-independent P-code? representation. This intermediate code was then interpreted by a program specific to each architecture. As a consequence, only the small interpreter part had to be ported over to many architectures. |

With Turbo Pacal version 5 Borland added Object Orientation to Pascal forming the Object Pascal dialect. Their main language from 1996 on, Delphi, is in turn based on this. Wirth also developed Modula-2?, a language similar to Pascal which also supports object oriented programming. |
