	In the latest (August 8th) InfoWorld, there is an ad for
	(wonder of wonders) JRT Pascal 4.0!

	The two striking differences between this and v3 are (according
	to the ad) that the new release compiles "twice as fast" as the
	old one, and they will ship your version 4.0 within 48 hours of
	receiving your check (imagine that!).

	It wasn't surprising to find that JRT is no longer distributing
	the package themselves (a firm named BlueEarth is doing it
	(anybody heard of them?)), and the price is now $100 (the
	manual without compiler is $40!)....

	The ad made no mention of update availablity for those of us
	who waited (and waited) for v3.
