    Recently, Werner Uhrig forwarded a Mac Pascal review by Kim Helliwell.
 In that review Kim made two statements:

        "If you really want to go the whole nine yards 
        and do a full Mac environment application, you 
        will need a 512K machine, no question. "

       "Overall I rate the product about 8 on a scale of
       10. " ... "The memory problem will be solved when 
       I get my memory upgrade. "

   I wish the memory problem would go away but it will not.  There is some
kind of memory restriction in Mac Pascal which causes it to die during
compilation when 7 percent of Lisa memory or 17 percent of 512K Mac
memory is filled with source code.  Apple was informed of this about
a month ago.  No action has been taken  as far as I know.

   I very much like Mac Pascal and wish I could use it to create 
Macintosh-style programs. However, the memory problem prevents
one from doing so.  It's very frustrating to upgrade to 512K and find
that Mac Pascal recognizes the extra memory but will not let you use it.
