Here is what I have, but it is a bit old... Only one seems to by "under $100", however. -------------------------------------------- Three LOGOs are now available for MAC. I prefer Object Logo, but all of them are nice. * Terrapin Mac Logo is a fairly standard Logo with a few hooks into Mac features such as quickdraw. It also has arrays and strings. The debugging tools are better than most Logos. It has multiple turtles. You can change the turtle shape to be Mac bitmaps (or arrays of mac bitmaps which change as it turns). You can import MacPaint graphics, etc. You can have several windows open at once, and you can control the windows with Logo commands. You can save an Edit window as text, preserving comments (if you save a workspace, Logo reformats everything). Terrapin Mac Logo lists at $99.95. It comes with a reference manual and a nice tutorial about programming in Logo. Current version supports System 7. Terrapin's address: Terrapin, Inc. 376 Malden St Malden, MA 02148 (617) 322- 4800 * Object Logo is now sold and supported by Paradigm Software in Cambridge, MA. They can be reached at (617)576-7675. They have recently released a new version, Object Logo 2.51, which supports System 7. Object Logo carries a retail price of $149.00. All the comments for Terrapin also go for Object Logo. In addition, it has "object" oriented extensions to the language. * ExperLogo is available from ExperTelligence, Inc. It is a compiled Logo with 1,2, and 3 dimensional bunnies (everybody else has turtles...bunnies go faster). It supports Quickdraw calls, menu changes, and is chock full of functions and commands. The cost is $150. The address I have from AI Expert (6/89) is: ExperTelligence, Inc 5638 Hollister Ave. Ste 302 Goleta, CA 93117 (805) 967-1797 -- Gerald A.
