JRT Pascal went through several versions, and was last
seen being sold as Nevada Pascal. There is a Wikipedia
article on it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRT, and several
places you can download it, just google for sources.

It wasn't very good, and if you ordered it you had to
wait a very long time before you received it. Borland's
Pascal (even the early versions) were much better.
