I work in C (mostly), and I have MPW 2.0.2.  I don't have Pascal, but
I do occasionally run across some source I'd like to do something
with.  (I also have been asked what I might like as a gift "for your
computer". :-))

MPW Pascal is a  lot more than I would like to spend for something I
wouldn't use all that much.  However, TML Pascal II is available for
$79 (including basic MPW) from places like MacConnection.  It is
supposedly completely object compatible with MPW, and I believe it is
supposed to be very nearly source compatible.

The question: is this worth getting?  Does anyone have any experience
with the beast?  Or are there any known problems?  etc.  Also, I
wonder if it is available cheaper without MPW, since I don't need it?

	Thanks / JBL
