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.
