ASAP.

Mail bounced, so:

I should like to know how well this compiler supports writing normal Mac
programs (ToolBox and OS support).

I should like to know how tasking works in conjunction with the MacOS
(MultiFinder, WaitNextEvent).

I should like to know what "Chapter 13" elements are implemented
(representation specs., interrupts, etc.)

I should like to know about interfacing (pragma INTERFACE) to other MPW
languages, THINK languages.

Thanks for offering to post a review; I am considering buying this product.
