Yes,

good product and good company.
I visited the company at embedded world fair in Nürnberg, Germany and was 
impressed of them.

http://www.embedded-world.de

They improve their products and they have 16 (or 60) employees one man told me 
at the fair.

On W98 were problems with the software, so I was sceptical but on XP the 
Pascal compiler runs good. You can try the demo version with 4k code.

I work with it now. Interrupts can be programmed.

There are little things that are for me not 100% understandeable such as if 
you put space inbetween numbers (and names) that the compiler will recognise 
this as if there were no spaces inbetween... But there are other positive 
things. Good libraries. Intuitive and userfriendly behaviour once you get 
used to it.

In the past I programmed in pure assembler, but now I migrated a project which 
needed some weeks or months almost in some days to pascal.

Important for me was that the software does not need internet access, because 
I only want to go online with Linux.

They told me that they will cooperate with a big german distributor (Conrad 
Electronic).

best regards, Rainer
