Is MetCompCo (?sp) Pascal the same as Amiga Pascal.
I have Amiga Pascal version 1.0 (totally worhtless).
Have there been any upgrades since 1.0. Since I sent
in my registration card I should be eligible for 
upgrades but I haven't heard anything from Commodore.
I bought this package at around $90, it is the single
worst purchase I have ever made. I'd like to at least 
get a decent upgrade if available and inexpensive.

So what about it? Anyone know? Also how come Borland 
has never come out with Turbo Pascal for the Amy?
It was one of the very first products ever announced,
but has never been published. WHy has Borland chosen
to ignore the Amiga market. I think they could make 
lots of Turbo Pascal and Turbo C sales if they priced
the products similar to the way they're priced for 
the Big blue clones, and the Macs.
