Is that GDelaney-guy from Canada making noises again?  :-)

Hmmm, I'd like to know where you heard this.  If anything, TML Pascal is
*compatible* with ProDOS 2.0, but it certainly doesn't *require* that version.
I have both the APW and standalone versions and they're running under ProDOS
16 V1.3 (which was supplied on the disk).  It doesn't take the new ROMs to run
ProDOS 16 v1.3, however.

Ok I got it mixed up it's based on System Disk 2 which we haven't been able
to get yet.  Yes I do agree that as stand alone applictions it works great 
but try and do to a Prodos8 appliction when you have prodos 1.3 and you
end up at the Wrong Version 00011 error.  I don't want to take anything away
from TML PASCAL it's a fine product that works great with what Apple has 
given it.  My complaint is that Apple with all the changes is making it very
difficult to get all our software working together.  I like to use PROSEL
to lauch my applications and with out a Prodos8 version that runs with 1.3
I'm out in left out in the cold.  I think Apple has an obligation to treat
all users equally its nice for the developers to get things in advance it
both releaves the average user from seeing a lot of bugs and makes it 
possible to get the new applications a quickly as possible which we all like
(look at all the GS applications which have been announced and either have
been cancelled or not been released yet).  I just would like to see them
release the things we need everywhere my BUCK is as good to them as Yours.
