I wouldn't bother with Orca/Pascal, since Pascal and C have similar
capabilities and C is more generally useful.

Quite a few Apple II software developers seem to prefer Merlin-8/16+
(Roger Wagner Publishing) for their assembly-language development.
Although I own a copy, I haven't had the time to learn to use it so
I can't really evaluate how it compares to ORCA/M.  The vast majority
of my software is written in C and is in fact not Apple IIGS-specific.
