I have spoken with the people at TML and they take the position that
you are paying for the compiler and get MPW for free.  They are working
on a V3.0 compiler for MPW 3.0, but that will not be available until
apple releases MPW as final product.  

Language providers can get MPW licensed to release with product for a
very reasonable cost it seems... as in the case of TML.  The upgrade for
TML pascal II to MPW 3.0 will be a reasonable cost (they weren't sure of
exact figures when I spoke to them as Apple hadn't given them final numbers).
I didn't ask them what all comes with the upgrade.

But since I had purchased MPW C from APDA, I went whole hog on the 3.0 upgrade
from them.... pascal, C, SADE, assembler, shell.  $330 is a great price for all
of that... since I was going to buy the assembler anyway.... then SADE costs
$100... and then all the rest adds up to a bargain.
