I don't have MPW, so the following may sound silly:
Why can LSC use MPW Pascal code and not MPW C code?  Doesn't MPW Pascal
and MPW C both compile to MPW's .o file format?  If so, I don't recall
seeing a .o converter for LSC...though I know it exists for LSP.

While on the subject of compatability, why didn't THINK make a utility to
convert libraries, or even projects, between LSP and LSC?  (if not make
them compatable-which, I guess, will remove some features in each prgm.)
What about a LSC=>MPW .o converter too?  (and LSP too)

We have a .Rel=>LSC and .Rel=>LSP converter, what about the reverse?

Sometimes I find it helpful to have the ability to share object code w/others..
but I can't w/non LSC users at present...
