A request was made for more info on SADE, but mail bounced back, so I apologize to the net for posting this... Apple currently has under development a symbolic debugging environment that nicely complements Apple's own Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW). MPW provides a Unix/Mac hybrid environment, a fast 68020 assembler, and C and Pascal compilers. MPW is available from the Apple Programmers and Developers Association known as APDA. SADE stands for Symbolic Apple Debugging Environment, I believe. The symbolic environment will be very similar to the existing MPW Shell environment, and in MPW 3.0 there will be C, C++, and Pascal compilers that work with SADE. In addition, other 3rd parties are producing Modula-2 and FORTRAN compilers that also run in the MPW environment, although I am not sure about their compatibility with SADE. Most of these items will all be sold as separate products, each in the $100-$200 range. Site licenses for schools are available, I think. Prices, dates, etc. are approximate since the product is still under development and will not be available until late this year perhaps. Dan Allen Apple Computer
