I have an old LOGO 1.0 put out by Microsoft. What is current for LOGO? Is Microsoft the recommended version? Or are there other, more favored versions? Thanks!

It was written by some company in Canada. After Microsoft dropped it, the company in Canada provided technical support for the product for a short time and then dropped that too. They still exist, but are only doing Apple // and PC products. There are now a number of LOGOs on the market. One to look at is Object LOGO by Paradigm Software (617) 576-7675. I don't have it, but it has a lot of nice features including color support, sound support, etc. Good Luck. Ken Hillen

LCSI brought out MacLOGO several years ago, and then dropped it. They have just brought out (in the last few weeks) a package for the Mac called LogoWriter which includes a word processor and is sold (at this time) only in school packs. This is their first Mac product that I am aware of since MacLogo. I do not know how good their support has been on Apple// and IBM products. They are not offering an upgrade to LogoWriter for purchasers of MacLogo. Ken Hillen /* Standard disclaimers apply */

There are two Macintosh Logo's currently available, and a third to be released soon. Terrapin's Logo for the Macintosh is based on the original MIT Logo for the Apple II. Terrapin is located in Maine (somewhere) now. Coral's Object Logo uses the LCSI syntax (as opposed to the Terrapin syntax) but extends it with objects. Apple bought out Coral, but sold off the Object Logo to a new firm whose name I've forgotten. APDA could probably give you the new name. Finally, LCSI has announced a version of their LogoWriter product (Logo with a built-in word-processor) for the Macintosh.
