Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'Epreuve des Armes à Feu Portatives regarding pressure are specified in the unit bar. Though the bar is not a SI unit like the pascal, nor a cgs unit, it is accepted for use with the SI by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. The bar is widely used in descriptions of pressure because it is only about 1.3% smaller than "standard" atmospheric pressure, and is legally recognized in countries of the European Union. Conversion between the units bar and the MPa is however easy since 10 bar = 1 MPa. If there are any contradictions between new decisions and preceding decisions adopted at
IP Pascal libraries present an idealized API for each function that applies, such as files and extended operating system functions, graphics, midi and sound, etc. The whole collection forms the basis for an implementation on each operating system and machine that IP Pascal appears on. The two important differences between IP Pascal and many other languages that have simply been mated with portable graphics libraries are that: IP modules can also be created that are system independent, and rely only on the porting platform modules. The result is that IP Pascal is very highly portable. Example: The standard "hello world" program is
