- I just read the minireview on ObjectMaster from Acius (MacWorld, Jan.93,
- p.194). It sounds lovely, but I find the claim that it works within the
- THINK Pascal environment surprising. I program in both THINK C and Pascal
- and find them fast and elegant *except* for their crippled, brain-dead
- editors.
-
- I've discussed with Pete Keleher for years the difficulties of
- subsituting
- the Pascal editor with something sensible, like Alpha, and have been
- convinced that it is impossible. There is a very kludgy and inelegant way
- of doing it in THINK C, but it certainly removes much of the pleasantness
- from the environment.
-
- How does Acius do it? Has anybody played with ObjectMaster? If so, what
- all
- does it do and what is it like to use?
