You read it right. They are now selling High Speed pascal, a product from 
Denmark. This is introduced as compatible to Turbo Pascal 5.0 on the PC. Like 
Turbo Pascal it allows compilation to memory as well as to disk. Compilation 
speed is rated at about 20,000 lines per minute. The product comes with quite a
few precompiled units that allow easy porting of Turbo Pascal programs from the
PC to the ST platform. The price in UK for Version 1.1 is 99 pounds sterling 
(most likely to include VAT, value added tax at 17.5%). There is a special
upgrade deal for the Personal Pascal users. Contact Hisoft or their dealer for 
deatils.
All the above information are from Hisoft's brochure and I am no way connected
to Hisoft.

I hope the above information would be useful to you.
