Are you saying, however covertly, that your need for a Pascal compiler is
because you're the one who has successfully pirated the copy of the source code
for MPE? HP has tried to keep this very quiet, but I know that they're mad as

Thinking about this a little further, why else would anyone need a Pascal
compiler?
