	They now have an application that creates stand-alone applications
on the Mac (I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail) so there is no
more need for the interpreter to be on the same disk with the application.
I don't know the speed of the resulting programs, but the old interpreter
used to move right along (if you didn't mind waiting forever for it to
compile and link).  I have some friends (not on the net) who have been
using the newer version for the Mac for several months and are very happy
with it (even considering using it in an undergraduate class).

  have opinions?  I doubt it.  I am, however, a reasonably satisfied
