Using PCPIX

To use PCPIX, you must somehow obtain two files: PCPIX.EXE and DPERRORS. You may have to download the ZIP archive and uncompress them, or you can download the individual files from my website (when I get them up). Put them BOTH in the same directory on a disk. If you don't have DPERRORS with PCPIX, you'll get an error message when you try to run PCPIX.

Now to use them, you have to open up a DOS window and change to the drive/directory that you put the two files in. For example, if I put PCPIX.EXE and DPERRORS on my Windows 98 desktop, I'd open up a DOS window and type "cd \windows\desktop". From there, you can do a "pcpix ". So if your Pascal source files are also in the same directory, you can just do something like this: "pcpix foo.pas" and the interpreter will do its work.

Using the UNIXS compiler

If you have a CIS account, you can telnet to unixs.cis.pitt.edu and compile Pascal source. To do this, the first thing you have to do (and you only have to do this once) and type: "setup sunpro". This will set up some necessary files in your home directory. Then, you can compile Pascal source files like this: "pc foo.pas". This will generate your object code as "a.out". You can execute that to run your program!
