Hi all, I'm a poor student at Newcastle, and I need a Pascal compiler for may Mac Plus. However, being poor,I can't afford to splash out the 150 pounds + asked for the retail versions (ie thinks, turbo etc...) Ideally, I would like a shareware or PD version, but will they be any good??? Thanks forany advice in advance... Alex (aka Mav)

Being a poor student has it's advantages. Several of the manufacturers offer tremendous discounts to students and faculty. Sometimes this is direct and other times it's through a distributer such as EduComp. Contact the manufacturer directly and inquire. -- Maurice INTERNET: lriggins@blackbird.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.2) Opinions expressed here do not reflect those of my employer nor constitute an official position of any U.S.Government agency.

I now use THINK Pascal 'cos it's supported, and has a *wonderful* debugger. THINK Pascal used to be available on Educational discount - but I'm not sure how much it would set you back now, except my local AppleCentre lists it for 125 quid (+VAT).
