It appeared to me (and to the reviewer, I think) that Manx's Aztec compiler was quite nice. It presents a Unix-like shell environment for development, and allows developed programs to use the shell OR one of two levels of interface to Macintosh tools. I'm not a Mac jock, yet, so I can't elaborate too well. One BIG gotcha, however . . . it is copy-protected! Yes, even though it is a software tool, it is copy- protected! I try to boycott that practice. That is why I don't use Micro- soft Word for PC work. -- - bc - ..!{seismo,topaz,gatech,nbires,ihnp4}!ut-sally!cyb-eng!bc (512) 835-2266
