Topspeed, on the other had, is the main tool we use for writing Novell utilities! If you use LANS at your school, go for Topspeed. Another minor point: It is quite easy for students to move from Turbo Pascal to JPI as the editors and general layout are similiar. Moving to Logitech isn't as easy. JPI's Tutorial Manual is a condensed (and JPI specific) version of the text (nuts, its at the office) WIU uses for teaching Modula and makes a nice companion to the text for the JPI libraries.
