That seems like a _really_ strange decision. Most people use DECnet-IV and
only a few use DECnet-PLUS.

Does anyone have any ideas what the possible thinking could be here ?

BASIC I can understand. COBOL I am not sure the current status of, but not
including PASCAL seems to be a major oversight. I hope it can be downloaded
by new Community Licence users.

Until someone in VSI gets into a "you are not allowed to do that !!!!!!!!"
frame of mind and says it is against the terms of the Community Licence. :-)

If VSI do object to that, hopefully CL users will get a warning first
instead of just being outright banned...
