        If I remember correctly, it doesn't need porting. It compiles
right "out of the box." It seems to be pretty flexable, but I've since
given up pascal.
        I'm wondering if anyone's taken a hack at pc? (BSD's pascal
compiler, if I'm not mistaken, and if I am, I'm sure I'll be informed :)
It didn't seem like it would take very much to get running. From what
I've used, it's a nice, quick compiler, but I can't speek for it's
effeciency. But if you wanted effeciency, you'd write in C anyway. ;-)
