If you're comparing the two for educational purposes, here is one point
to keep in mind:  The Logitech compiler WIU has for student use will not run
on a PC which is also connected to a LAN, it conflicts somehow with the LAN
software.  Topspeed, on the other had, is the main tool we use for writing
Novell utilities!  If you use LANS at your school, go for Topspeed.

Another minor point:  It is quite easy for students to move from Turbo Pascal
to JPI as the editors and general layout are similiar.  Moving to Logitech
isn't as easy.

JPI's Tutorial Manual is a condensed (and JPI specific) version of the
text (nuts, its at the office) WIU uses for teaching Modula and makes a nice
companion to the text for the JPI libraries.
