could someone please help me decipher the true meaning of "MPW"? I am 
new at this programming game, and I was fully prepared to go out and buy
a copy of Turbo Pascal. Why would anyone pay $400 for a pascal compiler?
It must be amazing.  What does it DO?  Who can utilize it to its full
worth?  Do I need to write tremendous programs to justify it, or just
lots of little ones?

Also, does anyone use the TML Pascal II implementation on MPW?  What is
different than the standard MPW Pascal??

Thanks in advance...
