Saluton!
I have a couple of questions which I hope someone can help me
find answers to:
1) I know that APDA is the sole source for MPW, but do I have
to *join* APDA to be able to get MPW?
2) How much do I have to pay for a membership?
3) How much is MPW?
4) What is the current status of MPW vs C++ vs MacApp?
5) I know of two Modula-2 compilers for MPW, SemperSoft and TML.
Which one do you judge the most powerful/versatile? Why?
6) Address to APDA?
THANKS!!

Yes, you have to join APDA to purchase MPW or any other Apple Developer Tool. If you are developing for the Macintosh, you really should join APDA. > >2) How much do I have to pay for a membership? APDA membership is $20.00 a year. It includes a 'subscription' to the APDALog. >3) How much is MPW? MPW Shell $200.00 (This includes the Assembler) MPW C $150.00 MPW Pascal $150.00 MacApp $100.00 > >4) What is the current status of MPW vs C++ vs MacApp? I don't totally understand this question. Could you develop it some more and repost it? > >5) I know of two Modula-2 compilers for MPW, SemperSoft and TML. > Which one do you judge the most powerful/versatile? Why? There is a compairson of the SemperSoft and TML Modula-2 in the January 1988 APDALog. I was planning to read it this weekend. Maybe I can post a report after that. >6) Address to APDA?

The rumours also mentioned ongoing work to port MacApp to C++. The rumours said nothing about whether this would be a complete C++, or not (some kind of stripped down version ?). If the above indeed *is* true (with a complete C++), then I see no reason *not* to impatiently wait for MPW 3.0, and then quickly sell my dog to *get it* ! :-) Please enlighten me. >>5) I know of two Modula-2 compilers for MPW, SemperSoft and TML. >> Which one do you judge the most powerful/versatile?

(?) The rumours >also mentioned ongoing work to port MacApp to C++. I don't know about the date, but there is a C++ compiler in development. This is a port of the standard AT&T CFront, with some extensions to support the Mac. (Apple has defined a subset of C++, which would be the minimal feature set necessary to use MacApp; our compiler, however, will implement the full C++.) MacApp is not being ported to C++. C++ is being made compatible with Object Pascal. C++ users will link with a pre-compiled version of MacApp. You will also be able to use C++ to subclass classes written in Object Pascal, and vice versa. -- Larry Rosenstein Object Specialist Apple Computer AppleLink: Rosenstein1 UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc}!apple!lsr CSNET: lsr@Apple.com
