       I got what I think is the real story on this the other day:
       It's being sold so cheap for two reasons: (1) The guy who sells
it wanted to see if he could make money selling so cheap you might as
well buy it as copy it; and he IS making money at it.  (2) He will be
coming out shortly with a native code compiler, which will sell for (I
think it was) $495; in the mean time, a lot of people will get
comfortable with the P-code version, just wishing there were a native
code version, and he'll have a really tremendous mailing list of Pascal
users.
