Text: I received my copy of Turbo Pascal today.  There has been a change
to the licensing agreement.  A note enclosed with the package
states:

    "If you want to market programs utilizing object code
    generated with Turbo Pascal.[sic]  There is no longer a
    license charge, provided you return your signed license
    agreement."

I got the software at the introductory price.  I ordered it via
U.S. Snail from Germany on April 16th.  There is no mention in the
actual licensing agreement, that I'm about to sign, of any retric-
tions on selling object code software.

Also, I got version 2.0.  It comes with an addendum to the
reference manual dated April 84.  So, I guess(?) this version is
new.  Anyway, for CP/M 80 users, version 2.0 adds:

o  An overlay system.

o  Dynamic heap, a full implementation of the dispose procedure.

o  Additional editor commands:  scroll up, scroll down, to top of
   screen, to bottom of screen, to beginning of block, to end of
   block, block hide/display.

Additionally, for the IBM PC and clones:  colors, graphics, win-
dows, and sound.

Good going Borland (and Jerry).  I hope you make a bundle.  Anyone
want to buy one reusable JRT disc real cheap?
