Dennis,

you are correct, I mean that UFC is a program on a Apple UCSD Pascal
formatted 5.25" disk.
No doubt that the program was written using Apple Pascal, as it contains all
the appropriate files you would normally see on runtime system.

I had forgotten about possible confusion with other Pascal Languages on the
Apple.
