I am after a freeware Pascal compiler to be used for educational purposes on
IBM PC's and compatibles. I intend to integrate it into an environment that
I already have so the features I am after are -

1. Not a memory hog! - preferably uses less than 250KB.

2. Invocation from DOS and compile-time errors messages directed to the
   standard output. It doesn't have to detect all compile errors - only
   the first one.

3. Good run-time error message reporting.

4. Public Domain, preferably with source code.

As it is only intended to use it for teaching very basic programming, it
is okay if it doesn't support all of the standard Pascal features.
