TML Pascal 1.50 (APW version) is up and running on my GS, as of last night.

While re-compiling and linking a program that uses the APW unit, I discovered
TML forgot to include APWGLUE.ROOT in TMLPASCALLIB. Their documentation said
the unit did not change from the previous version, so I extracted it from the
1.10 library with
        MAKELIB .D3/TMLPASCALLIB ^/RAM5/APWGLUE.ROOT
(I write-protected the 1.10 disk so that MAKELIB would not modify the
original.) Then I installed it into the new version with
        MAKELIB 2/TMLPASCALLIB +/RAM5/APWGLUE.ROOT
and my program would link. Their technical support telephone line only
runs from 2 to 5 pm Eastern Time; I'll call then to see if anyone else has
reported the problem.

While examining the libraries, I noticed they also left out something called
PVMONACO9. Anybody know what this if for?

I tested out several other things:
   READLN now works from text mode.
   READ also works, but requires a carriage-return.
   The {$I } include option still is not implemented.
   Strings > 128 characters cannot be written via WRITE.
   In one case, a program was one block shorter than the version
        compiled and linked under 1.10.
