- Oh - I should have said this earlier; I only recently discovered that Acorn
- ad released Edward's excellent Pascal to the world, non-commercially.

- *FULL MARKS* to acorn for an excellent decision. It really was the
- right thing to do given that you had good reasons not to market it.
-
- I was wondering though - it des *not* seem to have been well publicised.
- Why don't you arrange with one of the magazines (BAU?) to publish it
- as a cover disk? That would be a major coup for a magazine and excellent
- publicity for Acorn.
