- In the past we have used Mac Pascal. Why is it unsuitable now?
-
- Most recently we used Metrowerks Pascal. This is cheap per copy and
- comes with a site license if you list it as a required book for the
- course. On the downside, error messages are thick as a brick, and it
- can only be just barely run from an 800 k floppy.
-
- Metrowerks reachable at (514) 747-5999
- They claim to be rechable at metro@info.uqam.ca, but I have never yet
- seen a reply to something e-mailed there.
