	This is all very interesting.... a response has appeared on the board
before my post has even appeared there! But anyway....

This is in response to a post by iav1917@ritcv.UUCP (alan vymetalik)...

Turbo Pascal for the Macintosh has been promised for MONTHS, and now, they're
just getting around to advertising it...In those months, my view of Borland
was been shaken a bit.

My favorite Pascal compiler is Lightspeed Pascal for the Macintosh. It offers
high compilation speed (I've measured about 7000 lines per minute for my
code), link times of under a second, an incredible interactive source-level
debugging environment (while still allowing your application to run at full
compiled speed!), and the extensions that no Pascal should be without (which
help it be compatible with Lisa Pascal). In addition the code is as good or
better than anything around.
	Lightspeed Pascal also offers UNITs and separate compilation, Toolbox
access, etc, etc.....

>large memory model

Can you explain that? Is that just a compatibility thing for Turbo for the
PC? Otherwise, a "Large Memory Model" makes no sense on a nonsegmented
machine like the Macintosh (sorry, slight slam at the PC there.. 8-) ).
Unless you're talking about long-worded addressing, which (in my opinion),
ALL compilers should do...

I've not heard about Turbo 4.0 for the PC....The public clusters here have
Turbo 3.0.....

I have no connection with the sellers of Lightspeed Pascal other than as a
satisfied user.
