I haven't gotten around to setting up a good, safe anonymous
ftp server since I became an ISP. I will e-mail that file to you.
Below are messages from Wirth on this subject. As far as I know,
he's got the tape but no 7-track CDC to attempt to read it.

Dear Mr. Foust,
I am sorry, but we don't have the source of the Pascal compiler any
longer. It was in use her until about 1980, at which time we switched to
Modula-2.
Sincerely, Niklaus Wirth

It appears that I found an old tape. However, nobody can read it,
because it is a 7-track tape, and 7-track units have died out! Bad luck.
