I first started using Mac Pascal in 1985 & it was great ! When I bought the
MAC I had just spent a year on a Pascal compiler under Unix & could _really_
feel the difference. Your students should have no trouble at all.

If you really feel that they need a compiler then I would suggest the compiler
the Symantic (I've got both) which has a user interface almost as good as the
interpreter's.
