I am marketing a commercial package written in TurboPascal. I would
like to offer it to the Mac marketplace and had planned to do so based on the
persistent rumors that Borland was going to make a Mac version of their system.
Recent rumors; however, indicate that this may not be the case.

I understand that there are two versions of Pascal available for the
MAC, and I would like to develop a fall back position using one of them. It is
my understanding that both of these Pascal's use P-code which means that I
might be limited to the submarket of Mac owner's who have Pascal. This is
clearly not a desirable situation.

Can someone tell me if the license agreement for either of the existing
Pascal provides (even for a fee) the right to include P-code as part of a
commercial package written in that version of Pascal?

John
