No such luck. The closest thing would be Ada/Ed, but there's no Mac
version (yet). Meridian's Mac system is $129., with MPW included in
the bundle (this is the academic price). It's more than free, but
it's not a crusher either. And it has a decent Mac Toolbox binding.
No binding to the System 7.0 goodies yet, but Meridian's working on that.

It may be unlikely, but it's happening. RMS is working closely with the
NYU folks on GNAT, and NYU is doing nothing without his agreement. How
Dewar obtained RMS's agreement to the Mac port I don't know; what I do
know is that Dewar reports having obtained it.
