I find it to be a wonderful package for computer novices to learn Pascal--sure it's interpreted (hence slow), but you can always upgrade to Think Pascal once you're ready to do real programming. Throwing Think Pascal at novices is, in my opinion, unwise. Mac Pascal also provides access to QuickDraw in an easy form; perfect again for novices to learn basic graphic programming. As for the original question about printing, I think Rich Siegel has already answered that one. -Rajiv Arora -- Addresses: UUCP: ...!rochester!ur-valhalla!rajiv Internet: rajiv@ee.rochester.edu
