Dl'd this from local BBS a few days ago:

Introduction
___---------

SPEED-Pascal/2 is a 32 Bit Pascal Compiler for OS/2. It produces real
fast EXE's and uses most of the features of OS/2 since version 2.1
including Multihreading and 32 Bit Memory Management.

SPEED-Pascal/2 is up to 99 per cent Turbo-Pascal compatible. That
means you can use your old Pascal Sources and simply recompile them
under OS/2. For creating new programs you can use the newly developed
Object-PM library and take advantage of the OS/2 Presentation Manager
under the hood of an object-oriented library.

SPEED-Pascal/2 is a true 32 Bit Compiler. That means the generated
code is optimized for at least a 386-Processor. There are no longer
barriers of 64K segments in SPEED-Pascal because all Data Objects are
referenced over 32 Bit Pointers. Since that SPEED-Pascal requires as a
minimum a 80386SX Processor and OS/2 2.1 (See "System Requirements").

SPEED-Pascal/2 comes along with several Standard libraries that can be
used to easily access all basic features of OS/2 including File
Management and Screen output. The Object oriented library Object-PM
provides an object oriented user interface to cummunicate with the OS/2
Presentation Manager.

The Programs generated with SPEED-Pascal need no external libraries to
run except the DLL's you import in your Program (and of course you can
build your own DLL's).

The compiler comes as Command-line version and as the Integrated
Development Environment (IDE). It's strongly recommended that you use
the IDE to develop your programs. Under the hood of the IDE several
programs are integrated such as:
 * The SPEED-Pascal/2 Compiler itself
 * The SPEED-Asm Assembler
 * The Speed-Resource Compiler
 * The Speed-Resource Editor
 * The Help Precompiler
 * An Editor
 * A Context sensitive help system
============================================================
This is a beta! The final version (shipped about Jan/Feb '95) will
cost about $100.
