This is Scott Powers. i have never posted anything before and only under pressure from a fellow friend did i reluctantly use this, not because of lack of faith but because i wasnt sure i would be able to do this successfully or not! so please do forgive any errors i might make! I am an up and coming CS major at Ball State University in Muncie, In. I also happen to love the language of Pascal as it was my first learned language. I now have a PC Clone and wish to get a Pascal Compiler for it. The problem obviously being money. I am looking for something in Freeware or Shareware(at a price of nothing over 20 dollars!). I have a TANDY 1400LT. It has 2 3-1/2 720K drives, 1 5-1/4, and 768K RAM. I do NOT have a hard drive! Can someone please help? I am not to sure how this posting thing works...i.e. if i have to keep reading the specific newsgroups or if you DO/COULD/WILL write through E-mail. Thank you, Scott Powers[leppard](as in Def Leppard!)

Sorry for following up to this message and not the original, but I never saw the original :-) Turbo Pascal V5.0 contains everything above, V5.5 is also Object Oriented. The Prices of any Borland Language are: Retail: $149.00 US Discount: 99.00 Educational Discount: 45.00 Upgrades: 49.95 Since Scott's address is to a College (Ball State correct?) I would recommend checking the Bookstore. If any academic programs require TP, then it could very well be with the Computer Science books. Some universities have many of the Borland products in stock because of their great discounts. I have heard that Purdue's bookstore also stocks them. Optionally you could order it directly from Borland. Send a photocopy of you Student/Faculty/Staff ID or a pay check stub to them and they will send it back to you. It is best to call them first so they can tell you exactly how much it is. Their number is 408-438-8400, ask for Educational Discounts. If you are not eligible for educational discounts, you might want to drive to a nearby university and check it out. Note: I have no affiliation with any of the above mentioned entities, just a happy customer.
