Subject: Turbo Pascal

Read Jerry's comments about Turbo in Feb. Byte.  By the way, I disagree
with his gripes concerning Borland's policy of charging extra $100 for
unlimited object code distribution.  Why didn't Jerry complain about
Sorcim not letting people distribute freely the PRUN.COM file (i.e. the
p-code interpreter that comes with Pascal/M)?  In a sense, this would
equivalent, as linked object code is made in large part of library
procedures.  Now, quite possibly the the general trend is toward automatic
licensing of compiler's output.  I only think that Jerry's flames were
exagerated.
