  • Ok, I read through the notability article. Pascal-p2 is a piece of software written in 1972 by Niklaus Wirth and his university group. It was the basis for many Pascal compilers, including many that have pages here in Wikipedia (a search here will show that). I created it as a SourceForge project because I wanted it archived as a software source that is important to the history of computing. It is referenced here in Wikipedia many times, and I thought it deserved a page on it's history and implementation, instead of just appearing as a series of links that go elsewhere.
