In article <712@aicchi.UUCP> egv@aicchi.UUCP (Vann) asks about 1)
Lightspeed C from THINK Technologies; and 2) TML Pascal delivery
delays.

1)  I don't know anything about Lightspeed C but I have MacPascal
(the interpreter) from THINK.  While I am generally satisfied with
the quality of this product (i.e., I have workarounds for the bugs),
I am really annoyed that it is obnoxiously copy protected.  If this
bothers you like it bothers me, you may want to think twice about
buying a THINK Technologies product.

2)  I just received TML Pascal (just their standard development
release, no MacExpress (what is it, anyway?) or other extras).  It
took just over three weeks to arrive.  It comes with the latest
development releases of the Linker, RMaker, and Font/DA Mover 3.0.
For the record, it is not copy protected.

Rumor (from a presumably reliable source) has it that TML Systems is
working on object-oriented extensions to their compiler, equivalent
to Apple's MacApp, and that they will probably beat Apple to market....
