Ashwin: Nice Summary.

1) There is not yet a Pascal available.  GCC is out in a preliminary
test version for vax's and Sun's.  It would NOT be hard to add a front
end for Pascal and the small amount of needed back-end support.

2) If you wish to join info-gnu-emacs, ask the address
	info-gnu-emacs-REQUEST@prep.ai.mit.edu
Otherwise you will needlessly bother thousands of people with your
request.

3) Further information on GNU is available from the address:
	gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu

4) Though GNU Software is free, people may charge to distribute or
maintain it.  They have to provide you with full source code though
and can NOT restrict you from redistributing the source code.  See the
GNU Public License for full details.
