     Ahh..I'm not the author.  So I can't speak for him.
     But I hope he doesn't give the code out :)

        Well there are a couple good pascal compilers for *ix.

     Well frankly giving code to someone is hard for authors to do.
     I don't blame them.  If something as popular as BRE code just
     happened to slip out that would mean the end of most leagues
     for there would be tons of cheaters and such out there.
