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. Herb Poppe hpoppe@ncar.ucar.edu NCAR (303) 497-1296 1850 Table Mesa Dr. Boulder, CO 80307-3000
