Question:
	Has anybody out there used Pascal and the P-code card
	for the TI 99/4A? If so, how does it compare to say 
	Apple Pascal? 

	As I understand it, the TI uses UCSD version 4.
	Is this a current version? If I get this is there plenty
	of software out there being written in UCSD Pascal v. 4?
	How many other computers are using UCSD v.4?

	How long will TI be manufacturing the p-code card?  
	
	What all do I need to get the system to run?
	In addition to P-Code card (PHP 1270), I assume
	I need the UCSD Pascal Compiler (PHD 5063), but
	how necessary are UCSD P-System Assembler/Linker (PHD 5064)
	and UCSD P-System Editor/Filer/Utilities (PHD 5065)?

	The best prices I know of are from Elek-Tek in Chicago.
		PHP 1270    80.00
		PHD 5063   100.00
		PHD 5064    80.00
		PHD 5065    60.00

	Or a packaged price of $285.
	Does any one know of a better deal?
	
	And most important of all is the UCSD P-System worthwhile?
