MacApp is available to anyone with a phone and a credit card...

Use the phone to call APDA, 800.282.2732.

Use the credit card to order
	MacApp				M7022/D		 275
but you'll also need:
	MPW Object Pascal Bundle	B0030LL/E	$400
or
	MPW C Bundle			B0031LL/E	$400
	MPW C++				M0346LL/A	 175
or
	MPW C & Object Pascal Bundle	B0032LL/E	$525
	MPW C++				M0346LL/A	 175

As you can see, it ain't cheap.  However, if you buy the high-priced 
spread (Pascal, C++, and MacApp, total $975), you can also subscribe to
ETO for only another $300/year, to protect your investment.  (ETO is
distributed on CDROM only.)  This is actually an IMPROVEMENT on the old
scheme, which required you to buy the beta versions as they came out,
and still had to buy the release version.  It was easier to sell my
managment on the idea of a fixed-cost subscription, your mileage may vary.
If you haven't a CDROM drive, you can just buy the updates as they emerge.

BTW, before you ask, these prices are for everybody -- partners,
associates, APDA members, or anybody off the street.  And the updates 
aren't all that costly once you've paid off the original mortgage.

There are those who claim that C++/MacApp also requires a ][fx and 20Mb
of RAM, but perhaps you're more patient.
