I had versions 2.0 and 3.0, sold off last year at a swap meet. Your best bet is to go to Turbo Pascal, which is ever so much more supported in the public domain. You'll get the advantage of a compiled language instead of JRT, which contains a byte-code interpreter (again as I remember), within EXECUTE.COM so that is the only way to run your programs. I would be willing to bet that you can find a used CP/M version of Turbo Pascal, version 2 or 3 for under $40 at a local swap meet, WITH the manuals. Rob Peck
