I have been using the integrated version of TML Pascal since it was
first shipped.  For reasonably short and simple non-desktop (and
desktop) programs, I have had no problems.  However, as your program
grows (particularly if you are using UNITs and/or toolbox routines),
you will likely run into many annoying bugs.  Several of the bugs
that I reported to TML last August are still not fixed (contrary to
TML's claims).  A new updated version of both the integrated and APW
versions of TML Pascal is due out in early April.  I have ordered
this upgrade ($10) and would recommend that you wait for them before
purchasing TML Pascal.  If my bugs are still not fixed in the new
version, I am seriously considering purchasing the Desktop version of
ORCA Pascal.
