  Does anyone know what edition of PIM2 is supported by the various IBM PC
compilers?  I have FST, which I believe supports 3rd edition (but I may
just have an old version).  Do any of them support PIM2 4th edition?  If they
do, and they have extensions (e.g. JPI), can the compiler generate warnings
for code that does not follow PIM2?

  Also, does anyone know of a compiler which will flag at least a warning
for the rule at the end of chapter 19 of PIM2, where Prof. Wirth writes:

  "No assignments to variables occuring in the with clause should be made
   within the statement sequence, except of course to the fields of the
   designated record."

Just curious.
