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. Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.

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. Art Evans
