Don't panic, I'm not complaining again :-). CCD ST-Pascal+/OSS Personal
Pascal uses the DRI format. The first releases of CCD Pascal were
actually distributed with Link68 and AESBIND/VDIBIND. Probably it's
still not of so much interest for owners of the Pascal package, since
the linker which is selled with it now, is pretty fast ans doesn't need
RELMOD too. But good news for everybody with Alycon C.......just one
question: is Atari planning to distribute this to  parts of Atari
Corp. outside the USA? If yes I would alert my friends with the
developers package to the fact.
