Example web service in Pascal, deployed via Google Cloud Run

[![Run on Google Cloud](https://deploy.cloud.run/button.svg)](https://deploy.cloud.run)

This code demonstrates how to create and deploy a web service written

in Pascal, using Google Cloud Run. The Pascal program that provides

the service is wrapped in a small Python program that receives the

web requests, runs the Pascal program, and then creates a web response

containing the output of the Pascal program.

The web service is invoked via an HTTPS GET request with a single

path parameter, the number to be converted. It returns

the given value, converted to Roman numerals.

The Pascal program is very basic, and was adapted from an example in

Kathleen Jensen's and Niklaus Wirth's _Pascal User Manual and Report_,

*published in 1974*. It does not handle Roman numeral shortcuts, such

as IV for 4, instead using the long version in those cases, like IIII.

This is obviously not the way to create a Roman numeral web service

today, but there are legacy programs in a variety of languages not

supported in today's managed serverless platforms that would be useful

to have as web services. This example shows how to make that happen.
