[net.micro.mac] Request for info on Macintosh Programmer's Workshop

     We are currently working on a project in which development time is
 at a premium, and have been hearing about the MPW on the net.  Since
 the project is quite important, it would be nice to see the MPW in
 action.  We are located at the University of Calgary.  Is there anybody
 with a working version of MPW somewhere close by ?

     One of the prime concerns is the level of abstraction of the 
 toolbox.  Apparently the MPW takes it one level up, allowing
 concentration on programming the application, as opposed to the
 primitives needed for user interfacing.  We are already aware of the
 MacExpress package, but would still prefer a higher level of abstraction
 for the toolbox.  

     Thank you for any reply.
