JRT Pascal was not designed to create .COM files, as I remember.
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.
