Scott,

DON'T GET OXFORD PASCAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ahem) Good 'ol oxford ties into the basic rom for virtually everything
it does, meaning it's no faster than basic...add to that bugs, bugs, and
more bugs, a 2.5 minute load time (which crashes if any 'fast-load'
system is in use), and the standard dorky pascal i/o (try doing disk
drive commands which require writing, then reading, the command channel)
and you get a compiler that will make that ol' basic rom look pretty good...
