Commonly a reference to the intermediate format used in Wirth's
porting package for Pascal. See my page on it at:


http://www.moorecad.com/standardpascal/p4.html


Its basically just the intermediate for a Pascal, it seems to
garner attention because it was the first widely used "virtual
machine" solution, and even had a hardware processor specifically
created for it.


None of that was ever intended by the authors of the program. They
just wanted to help others get compilers going faster.
