Actually, the list price is $99.95. (and, of course, you can get it for
cheaper from a mail order house...) It was the first high level language
that I got for the ST, and I quite like it. 32 bit integers, full 
AES/VDI interface, etc. It comes with a decent full screen editor, and
a decent programming shell called MENU+. The only problem that I have
with the PASCAL is that it sticks a little *too* closely to the ANSI 
standard...it doesn't allow for random access files. However, I also
have a copy of the Metecompco Assembler...so I remedied that problem.

Do I still use the PASCAL? Occassionally...but since I got Lattice
C, I use that for most of my work...

...ok...ok...so I like to stay with one company...;-)
