I hate to be a bother, but could you forward this to unix-wizards for
me?  System types here say that they have no idea why the message gets
rejected.  Thanks.

Subject: SIMPAS
From: bryant at uwisc
The "SIMULA to PASCAL" translator referred to in previous unix-wizards
mail most probably refers to SIMPAS.  This is a discrete system simulation
language embedded in PASCAL via a preprocessor (to enhance portability).
Succinctly stated, SIMPAS extends PASCAL by adding statements for
	(1) event declaration and scheduling
	(2) entity declaration, creation, destruction
	(3) linked list declaration, insertion, removal
	(4) statistics collection
	(5) random number generation
SIMPAS is more a strongly typed implementation of SIMSCRIPT II.5 rather
than SIMULA.  Although designed to be highly portable, machine specific
implementations for VAX UNIX (assumes UW pc external compilation extensions
but could be converted to UCB pc) and UNIVAC 1100 systems using UW-PASCAL
do exist.  Distribution is $100 for academic types, $300 for profit takers.
