- According to some guff I recieved in the mail yesterday, Stony Brook have
- released a Pascal compiler 100% source compatible with Turbo Pascal.
- Amoungst the claims is that it's up to 100% percent faster and produces code
- up to 30% smaller.

- I don't know anything about this pascal, but you might be interested in
- having a look.
