Subject: JRT Pascal

To answer a question I asked recently, yes there is a public domain (or
rather free) Pascal compiler for CP/M.  It's JRT Pascal and it's in
micro:<sigm.vol082> on simtel20.  After a lot of work, I mangaged to
bootstrap my machine to modem7 by way of mboot3, ftp all the files
(warning: get20 didn't always work properly on my machine), and
download them.  (Strange, I never had to convert ITS format.  I wonder
if ftp or something was doing that for me.)

Anyway, the program I want to run gets some strange errors from JRT for
normal operations involving read, readln, write, writeln, reset, and
rewrite.  Could someone tell me where I can find a copy of the JRT
manual or a few large example programs using those features?  Thanks.

One quirk I've already fixed was that you can't use the string
initialize as an identifier in JRT.  I had
       procedure initialize; 
and JRT said identifier expected.  Changing the string stopped the
error message.

Does anyone know if it's possible to create stand alone applications
with JRT or will I always have to type: exec file.int ?

Thank you for your help!
