rroux@rigel.sdd.trw.com (10/30/90)

Does anyone know of a Public Domain or shareware version of logo for the mac?
How about comercial versions?   

Thanks,

Ray Roux

Three LOGOs are now available for MAC.  I prefer Object Logo, but all
of them are nice.

* Terrapin Mac Logo is a fairly standard Logo with a few hooks into 
Mac features such as quickdraw.  It also has arrays and strings.
The debugging tools are better than most Logos.  It has multiple
turtles.  You can change the turtle shape to be Mac bitmaps (or
arrays of mac bitmaps which change as it turns).  You can import
MacPaint graphics, etc.  You can have several windows open at once,
and you can control the windows with Logo commands.  You can save an
Edit window as text, preserving comments (if you save a workspace,
Logo reformats everything).

Terrapin Mac Logo lists at $99.95.
It comes with a reference manual and a nice tutorial about
programming in Logo.

Terrapin's address:  Terrapin, Inc.
			376 Malden St
			Malden, MA 02148
	(617) 322- 4800

* Object Logo is now sold and supported by Paradigm Software in Cambridge, MA.
They can be reached at (617)576-7675.  They have recently released a new
version, Object Logo 2.5.  Object Logo 2.5 carries a retail price of $149.00.
Owners of earlier versions of Object Logo can upgrade to version 2.5 for $55.
Lab packs and site licenses will also be available.  All the comments for
Terrapin also go for Object Logo.  In addition, it has "object" oriented
extensions to the language.

* ExperLogo is available from ExperTelligence, Inc.  It is a
compiled Logo with 1,2, and 3 dimensional bunnies (everybody else 
has turtles...bunnies go faster).  It supports Quickdraw calls,
menu changes, and is chock full of functions and commands.

The cost is $150.

The address I have from AI Expert (6/89) is:
	ExperTelligence, Inc
	5638 Hollister Ave. Ste 302
	Goleta, CA 93117
	(805) 967-1797
