I'm interested in learning (and in fact am learning) Mac assembly.  I have a
copy of Consulair's Mac Development System which I bought about 1.5 years ago. 
How much better is the MPW Assembler (if it's at all better), and is there a
reason to purchase it if one already owns the MDS assembler?  I do my work both
in THINK Pascal and TML Pascal/MPW.  

I've heard that there are some features in MPW Assembly that aren't available
in MDS.  Along with learning the 68k Mac stuff, I'm interested in learning
"practical development skills", i.e. techniques specific to MPW, etc.  Is MPW
much different from MDS?

Any info appreciated (if you can, please e-mail; it's easier for me).
