Pascal". It provides usable code (Pascal, of course) segments for all kinds of neato things that every programmer uses, e.g., binary search algorithms, various sorting techniques, etc. It is written in unconventional English, and for a programming text that means it is readable and usable rather than techie language. I agree with your assessment of APW C, and have (temprarily, hopefully) shelved it until a better release. Maybe it is just me, but the code produced is huge and SLOW. My preference now is Orca Pascal (just released by Byteworks) over TML (both versions). Orca Pascal appears to be very clean, compact, fast, but suffering from lack of documentation for the more esoteric (read as use of tools, special calls, etc.) stuff. Have a nice day, Bud
