	 Yeah. :-)

	 We're not Lightspeed - they do page layout, not compilers - but we
 do plan another release of Lightspeed Pascal; it's in the works now.

 Lightspeed Pascal will provide language features for complete MPW
 Pascal source compatibility, including the standard goodies like constant
 expressions, UNIV parameters, LHS typecasting ("HandleType(h)^^ := foo")
 EXIT, CYCLE, and LEAVE, and unrivaled code-generation quality. 

 (Of course, the last isn't a language feature - sorry.)

 There will also be Object Pascal support, complete enough to do MacApp.

 Coming third quarter...
