The trick I used was to order TML Pascal II, which comes with MPW. At the time,
I was working for a university, and got it at an educational price of something
like $75. While this is only $25 less than MPW alone, I did also get a nice 
Pascal compiler.

Also, IMHO, if you're doing assembler work, and are on a tight budget, skip
SADE and get MacsBug or TMON instead. I've used both with the assembler for
a couple years now. Since you are already writting in assembler, the need for
symbolic debuggers decreases.
