While I've never tried the North Star version out, I have spent a lot of time with a variation of the Byte pascal that was made for the Radio Shack Model I computer by People's Software.  That has a compiler/editor in basic, interpreter in basic, interpreter in Tiny Pascal, and a Translator in basic that generates Z80 code.  It also includes the Z80 runtime code.

I have TRS-80 Tiny Pascal but mine has nothing in BASIC.  It loads as a
CMD file btu contains a lot as P-code.  The compiler, the editor are all
P-code while the Interpretor and Runtime are machine code.

Any chance I could get a copy of the version you have?  As I do have 
the machine to run it on. Model I's, a Model III and even a Model 4.

> I don't have any computer to run it on, so I use the emulators to run it on my pc.  The biggest pain, is entering the source code in the compiler/editor.  So I have entered the byte book version of the compiler, modified it to run using basica and can now enter a tiny pascal program into a text file and then compile it into a Pcode text file.  This weekend, I just finished writing a turbo pascal program that takes the pcode file and creates a "CAS" file that can then be loaded into the TRS-80 emulator and run.  So far seems to work pretty good.

I agree.  That's why I have been trying to find enough pieces to make
it more available and to add functionality to it.
