However there is no compiler switch for HP VMS Pascal. Would be really useful if just the main syntax differences could be catered for eg: Specifying parameter names in procedure calls (instead of overload) - I could provide a list. Noticed GNU Pascal has such a compiler switch. Anyway in the middle of writing a pre-processor to make the syntax changes but wondering if anybody has done something similar? HP having just announced VMS retirement after 35 years there must be a lot of HP Pascal around some of which will need to be ported!

Not all of them would read this forum.
