I registered my 1.0 package in October 1987, so I think Think knows who I am...] Should I A) Order the $50 upgrade from Symantec (~$56 with tax and shipping) or B) But LSP 2.0 from MacConnection ? (Haven't checked the price recently, but it was $65 + $3 for overnight shipping) Which way will I get it faster ? or 2) Forget LSP and get TML Pascal II ? Advantages that I see of (2) over (1). I get the MPW shell, which is needed for some other things that I'd like to run, including some other compilers. Questions: Which compiler generates tighter code ? Faster code ? (please include sources of all benchmarks, along with compliation options, so we can interpert what we get, as I assume some of netters are interested in this, too.) Will TML Pascal compile MacApp ? (from a previous posting I gather that the MPW Assembler (not included) is required to actaully make anything run.) Why does Symantec advertise Object Pascal support, then say MacApp compatibility coming soon ? (I _know_ that you don't have to support MacApp to be an object-oriented language, but I do question the value of an Object Pascal that can't compile the #1 Object Pascal program.) --- Drew Dean Internet: dean@xcssun.berkeley.edu UUCP: ...!ucbvax!xcssun!dean
