[comp.sys.mac] LOGO Language

tom@felix.UUCP (Tom Lockwood) (06/21/88)

I am trying to find the language LOGO that was developed by Microsoft.
I called their sales office.  They say they discontinued the product
and sold the rights to Logo Computer Systems in Canada (514) 631-7081.
Microsoft doesn't have their address and I cannot get thru via phone.

Does anyone know their address?
Are their any other LOGO's available for the Mac II?

Thanks in advance,

Don't know about MS LOGO, but I DO know about Coral LOGO.  They have
an object-oriented LOGO which is quite enjoyable to work in.  The only
problem is that it doesn't form stand-alone applications.  I don't
know if MS LOGO does, but LOGO doesn't seem like a big stand-aloner
(jest me opinion ;-) )

Anyway, coral has a toll free number that eludes me at the moment, but
they are in the boston area.  I use their Allegro Common Lisp all the
time, and have been overjoyed with the quality of the product.

Hope this helps.

   I just got the notice that Coral Object Logo, version 2.0 is out.  It says
that it runs on 512KE, Plus, SE and II.

I have been happy with their version 1.2 on my Mac Plus.  (I also have been 
happy with the LCSI).  These two versions of Logo have different
strengths and weaknesses, so I can't say that one is better than the other.
