This page contains various information about the standard versions of Pascal as stated by the ISO 7185, the original Pascal language designed by Niklaus Wirth.
The ISO 7185 Pascal standards is unique in that they did not seek to remake the existing Pascal language as defined by Niklaus Wirth. Instead, they simply defined Wirth's Pascal in a more formal form, and eliminated the ambiguities of the original language.
The first ISO standard essentially is the original language. Pascal has been subsetted, modified and worse. But in it's original form, Pascal may be the most carefully constructed, documented and standardized language in existence.
Pascal is, unfortunately, very much a "great improvement on it's successors", and continues to be useful for all programming work.
