        I thought you would like to know.  From this month's (DEC
82)  issue  of the "Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey News" in
the SIG/M Report column:

        "JRT PASCAL came first with Ellis and  others  following.
The Pascal Z group took note of the non-commercial release provi-
sions of the JRT PASCAL and  released  it  as  their  volume  18.
SIG/M  is now releasing it as volume 82.  We read one rave review
and one that said it wasn't worth the new price.  We know  of  at
least  one  bug - try multiplying by 0, but we think for those of
you interested in trying a little Pascal, it is worth getting our
volume 82."

        Hence, JRT PASCAL looks like it is *FREE* to me.  If  you
have  a  computer  club which is already getting the SIG/M disks,
you can get it from them, or the SIG/M copying charge is  $5/disk
+  $1/order  (I  think  I misquoted $4/disk earlier).  In further
confirmation, the following are the files on volume 82 of SIG/M:

ARCTAN.INT      ARCTAN.PAS      CONVERTM.INT    COS.INT         COS.PAS
CUSTOMIZ.INT    DEBUG.INT       ERASE.INT       EXEC.COM        EXP.INT
EXP.PAS         JGRAF.INT       JGRAF.PAS       JRTASM.INT      JRTPAS2.COM
JSTAT.INT       JSTAT.PAS       LETTERS.INT     LINKER.INT      LN.INT
LN.PAS          PASCAL.LIB      PASCAL0.INT     PASCAL1.INT     PASCAL2.INT
PASCAL3.INT     PASCAL4.INT     RENAME.INT      RESETBIT.ASM    SETBIT.ASM
SIN.INT         SIN.PAS         SQRT.INT        SQRT.PAS        TESTBIT.ASM


        For those who already have purchased JRT PASCAL, is  this
a complete list of the files?

        Also, for those interested, ZCPR 1.0 and 1.6 are now  be-
ing  distributed on SIG/M disk 77.  I also gave SIG/M ALL of SYS-
LIB, and it will take up three SIG/M disks all by  itself.   Com-
plete  source to everything was included, as well as the huge do-
cumentation files and all the HLP files.  I don't remember  if  I
gave them the new User's Guide, but if I didn't, it will come out
later.  I don't yet know which SIG/M volumes SYSLIB will  be  in,
but I'll drop you a message when I find out.
