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.
