We only have 1.1 of P5 mirrored (so far).

I've built 1.4 (pcom.exe, pint.exe) locally but haven't run the test
suite yet. (He changed it so my old GNUmakefile isn't good enough
anymore.) Mostly it's just extra error checking, no added features.
(In particular, he didn't want to extend P5 beyond ISO 7185 level 0.)

That's p5c (ISO 7185 level 1), based upon p5, but it's written in C
and targets (modern GNU/Clang) C, e.g. GCC 12.2 (DJGPP).

r67 is an older version and should be moved to "old/". The latest
seems to still be r76.

I do also have p5c.exe locally (built with DJGPP), but it's not hard
to build (his readme tells how). Most of the rest of the .ZIP is
documentation or extensive examples and tests.

I don't demand a package for any of this. Just saying that I found it
interesting to fiddle with over the years. (But as Ralf said, some
people dislike classic Pascal. So it may not be a popular opinion.)
