One thing that consulair has going for it is the compatibility with MDS and
the associated benefits -- apple ships most of its stuff (include files,
object code, and other low level things in the software supplements) either
in MDS format, or in the lisa pascal environment which will either work
directly or with little modification. Because none of the other Compilers
do this, if you're going to do native development on the Mac and plan on
using the stuff (Macintalk is a good example) that Apple puts together, MDS
and macC are a good shot. It is also a very good and stable compiler, with
a good toolbox support package...
