Does the new Lightspeed Pascal 2.0 still have the problem with dealing
with the most negative integer as a data value?  Does it have real
packing of data when it is byte size (such as char, or small valued),
or is it still in words?  Does it add an 'unsigned' data type modifier
(non-standard, but useful).

Most important of all, how much of a Mac does it take to run it?  Can
it run on a 512K machine?  Can it run on a 1 Mb machine (without using
multifinder)?  LSC 3.0 was terribly disappointing to those of us with
1 Meg machines.  How much slower is it than 1.11?
