Turbo pascal 1.0 was a native code compiler. It was based on a European
pascal compiler called 'Compas Pascal'. UCSD pascal (and for that matter
UCSD fortran and UCSD basic) were all p-code compilers. Versions I.5 to
II.1 were great but they lost it from version IV.0 and later. (III.0 and
III.1 were p-codes executed by hardware on the WD micro-engine, I've got 2
such beasts here).
