i"Symantec has expressed a policy of welcoming other compilers to their
IDE, freely publishing the interface specifications.  They are being
beaten up about their Pascal non-support so they seem an unlikely
candidate to do a compiler, but adapting to their IDE might be
possible for someone else.  Symantec may have a reputation
below that of Metrowerks in the Macintosh developer community,
but for many their IDE ranks far above MPW (which is alleged
to be still quite command-line oriented)."


MPSW is not "quite comamnd line-oriented", it is a command interpretor,
analogous to a unix shell, but with its own highly peculiar syntax.


By the way, I find it strange that Larry should be so concerned with 68K
based Macs, for educational use it is nice to be able to support such
machines at least a little bit, but I can't see any serious interest
at a commercial level. Certainly the commercial interest we have seen
in the Mac port so far is entirely PPC based.
