unless you manage to find a used copy, of course. But before its
publication, various versions of this book floated on the Digital
network. It was named "Pastools". I still have a hardcopy of that book,
version 0.9, so very close to the published version. Can electronic
versions of this book still be found somewhere ? It is a very valuable
resource for people who want to call system services from Pascal.

 Writing VAX/VMS Applications Using Pascal / Theo De Klerk from 1991.
 Not available any longer. But still covered by copyright.

You can click "Add to wishlist" here, and set yourself up to get notified when a used copy eventually circulates through their system:

I've been successful doing that with some out-of-print book titles in the past, after months, and even years, have gone by. It's always
a surprise when you suddenly get an email notification, and you can defer your purchase decision to that point. There's no obligation to acquire.
