From: SAT.ANDERSON@Ames-VMSB

  At the October 3 meeting of Showpage, a Bay Area Mac Users' Group,
I picked up a copy of a product announcement for a stand-alone C
development system.  This package was written by the people who
wrote the Apple Macintosh 68000 Development System (assembler/editor/
debugger).  (In fact on the phone today I was told that Apple is allowing
them to include the latest version of the 68K Dev system.)  This is
the software that has been used for the last two years to write the
ass/ed/deb.  They are already shipping product.

     Mac C compiler  - $295
     Mac C Toolkit   - $175
     both products   - $425
