I guess it's not stricly necessary, but I just thought I'd add one comment to
my previous message, particularly since I've gotten some mail asking why am I
switching from THINK to TML. I'm not porting from THINK Pascal to TML because I
prefer TML, but rather because I'm trying to learn a bit about MPW.

TML Pascal seems quite nice, and if you're writing multi-language programs, or
need to use MPW, it might be better for your purposes than THINK.  But for
Pascal compilers, I think THINK is a much more elegant environment, has
exceptional debugging facilities, and is  -- in my opinion -- more in keeping
with the spirit of the Mac's "easy to use" interface.  I prefer THINK, but
knowledge never hurts. :->
