I'm thinking of purchasing a Fat Mac w/2 drives to use as a software
development system, and I'd like to get some feedback on the feasibility
of such use. In particular:
1. Is the Mac Assembler/Debugger a viable software development tool
for machine language programming? Has Apple produced a reasonably
bug-free version, able to handle large source files, with linking
capability, and so forth?
2. Are there any worthwhile implementations of C available for the Mac?
(E.g. how do they shape up as regards portability, size limitations
on source code, Kernighan&Ritchie adherence, etc.)
I've heard of a Unix C, from Holt/Stanford, which requires a Vax
to utilize; has anyone had any experience with it? Are any C
compilers compatible with the Mac Assembler?
I realize some of these questions may be naive, and some may have
already been answered on the net; please bear with me.
I'd appreciate any information, rumors, pointers in the right direction;
please respond by mail to

Thanks in advance,
