Pascal Analyzer (Proprietory) Tool for code analysis & improvement, including warnings (such as ambiguous references), possible optimisations, identification of potential memory leaks (useful as most mem reports only show paths actually taken during a test), repeated string literals (that may be best as consts), unused units in uses clauses, convention compliance, and the list goes on....
