The second edition of PASRO - Pascal for Robots includes some new
aspects of the PASRO development within the last two years. Besides the
PASRO implementation on other computers with the help of different
Pascal compilers and operating systems, one significant new development
has been the implementation of the PASRO concept in the programming
language C. Therefore the second edition is divided into two major
parts: A. The revised and little extended "old" PASRO description of the
first edition based on Pascal. B. The new PASRO/C description based on
C. Of course we know that the name "PASRO/C- is a contradiction in
terms, but we chose it, in order to use the well known name PASRO in
future. The additional author John Favaro is respon- sible for the
PASRO/C implementation and the des ription while Christian Blume
designed the PASRO concept and implemented the original PASRO, together
with Wilfried Jakob. Additional thanks are dedicated to Jan Schloen and
Thomas Eppting, who helped us to implement PASRO/C. We would also like
to thank all readers of the first edition, who sent us their comments
and corrections. Amongst these, spe- cial thanks to G. Macartney from
the Queen's University of Bel- fast.
