[comp.sys.mac.system] System 7 Compatibility Questions

trick@oasys.dt.navy.mil (Patrick Walsh - UNIX Systems Programmer) (05/30/91)

Hello all.

I have only been reading this newsgroup for a few days.  I have a
couple of years of serious programming under my belt, and I want to
get into the application development market, but one step at a time.

I have decided on the following configuration, largely due to pricing,
more than anything else.

Macintosh Classic LC w color monitor
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Aldus Pagemaker
Adobe Illustrator
THINK C
Programmers Extensions to THINK C v1&2
Programmers On-line Companion

I need to know what versions of these packages I need to acquire for
compatibility with System 7.  I would also like to know about any C++
compilers that are available, and any sites which have GCC available
for Mac.  I would also like some comments on the On-line companion,
and the Extensions.
