Beware:

I sent away for the JRT Pascal compiler this past March.  So far, all I've
received from them is a cancelled check.  I sent them a letter last month
asking "What's up?", but they haven't responded.  Are they still in business?
Is this a rip-off or what?

==============================================================================

I sent for my JRT pascal some months ago, and finally called and did talk to
the folks.  Seems that a 39.95 compiler is far to good to be true, and they 
have been swamped with orders.  There is now a 4-6 month delay!!  I think this
is a bit much for ANY company, but what can you do if they already cashed
your check or billed your visa!?  I was informed my copy should arrive this
month, and in fact, I know of some folks at work who did receive their copies
after about 4 months.  Needless to say, si *ANY* piece of software worth that
long a wait?  I leave it to you....
