I have the pamplet in front of me.  There are a couple of things that
were left out of the message:
        - It is only *one*pass*, that is, you can't have loose order
          of declaration and use.
        - You only get the Volition Systems Library, i.e. InOut,
          Conversions, Texts, and Files modules.
        - Sets up to 32K elements (yeah!!!!)
        - Function procedures may return results of *any*type.

The prices are: (site licenses available)
        - $1500 for the compiler.
        - $340 for the symbolic debugger.
        - $340 for an editor Editor.

We've been using the Sun compiler for about a year and have found it
adequate for our needs.  It runs with dbxtool and has a very nice
interface to C, thus you don't have to put in-line machine language
to get assembly language procedures or to get at Unix.  They are
coming out with a version 2.0, but we have yet to receive our Beta
tape.  I hear that it is a much improved version.
