JRT has a long history of taking many (3-6) months to ship
orders.  This is strictly illegal for a mail order firm, of 
course, but apparently nobody has squawked loud enough to shut
them down yet.  I suspect this is because nobody has more than
$30 invested, so it's not worth the trouble to any one individ-
ual.  
 
   If you really want it, I suggest you invest a little more in
a few phone calls, and try to get some action.  Or, better, find
someone who already has it and copy it (legally) from them - then
cancel your order and save $30.  Contact your local computer club,
or RCPM system.  

   If you're looking for a reliable Pascal compiler, I suggest
you forget the JRT product entirely.  It has too many bugs to
be useful for production work.  It's ok for playing, I guess.

appeared in net.micro, so I am posting the follow-up there, too.
