I've used Professional Pascal (from Metaware) on the Daisy platform
and generally found it to be low quality.  Things like compiler
crashes with useful messages like "Dynamic array allocation/
reallocation failed" (The compiler's internal arrays, not one
of mine).

Of course, this was a Daisy port and thus these problems may
well be Daisy specific - the Daisy is not a friendly platform.
