Buy Lightspeed Pascal. This is an unbiased recommendation, based on the fact that Lightspeed Pascal is a far more polished product than is Turbo. Lightspeed Pascal offers superior project management (a sophisticated kind of version control is what it is) coupled with very fast compilation and linkage. IN addition, LSP's symbolic debugging facilities are unmatched anywhere. As far as C goes, I don't think Turbo C on the Mac exists yet; in any case, I would again recommend Lightspeed C -- it's a good cX7 product, and offers many of the advantages of Lightspeed Pacal -- fast compiler and linker; in addition, it is *very* HFS-aware, and offers a similar project-management facility. I'm not associated with THINK, but I use their products 8 or more hours a day in the course of my work, so I feel qualified to comment... --Rich R-Squared Development Systems 134 Horseshoe Drive Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 (804) 229-2152 [After 6pm eastern time only] Arpanet: rs4u@andrew.cmu.edu Uucp: {your fave gateway}!seismo!andrew.cmu.edu!rs4u Disclaimer?
