Hmm, which different compilers? GNU Pascal doesn't support Delphi's
object pascal dialect, Free Pascal doesn't implement the latest changes
and is x86 only. Prospero and Virtual are x86 and Windows/DOS only.

You can only use it from Pascal. I think that's a fair offer. You get
an IDE, a class library that will soon be cross-platform and one of the
fastest compilers at all. If all that is sufficiently stable (which is
another topic), then $199 are certainly not expensive.
