MPW supports writing programs in a mixture of Pascal, Assembler, & C, so the
same it true of MacApp.  The only requirement of MacApp is that you write
the basic user interface part of your program in Object Pascal (or Assembler
if you prefer).  Internally, you are not required to use object-oriented
programming at all so you can use standard Pascal or C.

If you were going to port a program from the IBM PC, it should be easy to
keep the internals of the program unchanged, and use MacApp to construct the
standard Macintosh user interface.
