The unopened shrink wrapped package on my desk (1 of 10) says SYMANTEC Macintosh Pascal. (We use it for one of our stage1 computing courses). It arrived a couple of days ago. Symantec took over development at about version 2 (I think). The current version is version 3. It is for academic use only. For those of you who know version 2, you also know version 3 except for a few less bugs and one or two minor features. >Macintosh Pascal is interpreted, THINK Pascal is compiled. Yup, that bit is true Bruce Benson. bruce-b@cs.aukuni.ac.nz Department of Computer Science University of Auckland.
