	It's been awhile since I heard this, but from what I recall, Ellis
Computing bought the rights to JRT Pascal when JRT folded.  Also, contrary to
the previous message, JRT is *NOT* public domain.  The documentation DID
however say that you could give copies to your friends, so I guess it comes
down to about the same thing.  As a side note, the JRT folks were the ones to
come up with the idea of an inexpensive compiler.  They failed in the
marketplace because even though the price was right $29.95, the program wasn't
worth anything.  It is not a compiler, it's a pseudo-compiler, it goes to
P-Code like UCSD Pascal.  JRT is worth a try, especially if you can find it
locally, it did have some nice features.  Turbo however is a much better
compiler, it's fast and although it has some limitations, compiles to native
code.
