Well, there's Think C and Pascal, Symantec also has Zortech C++ and is
working on Bedrock, a cross-platform class library; on the MPW (Apple's
Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) side, there's C++, Object Pascal, Lisp
(I think) and maybe Modula. I'm gonna try to port the Free Software
Foundation's C, C++ and Objective-C compiler to the mac but I haven't
got it exactly right on my UNIX dialup yet. FSF is currently boycotting
Apple, Lotus and Xerox products, as well as any other look-and-feel
copyright plaintiffs (any who claim that a user interface can be
copywritten), so I have my work cut out for me.

Back to commercial products -- The think product is inexpensive, however
I feel that Symantec should be using it to develop products, on the other
hand MPW is VERY expensive but Apple _is_ using it to develop products,
and they are making improvements and other changes mainly in response to
their own needs but also, to a limited degree in response to mac developers
with Apple Partner status (costs $600/year, you can only get this if you're
another Aldus or other very large developer with substantial products out
in the mac market.

Another eventual 'must-have' is the Jasik Debugger. This monster displays
lines of your source code whether you have Think or MPW and the language
can be any of C, Pascal or Modula, and it tells you the very machine 
_instruction_ that causes the problem, whether you have a divide by zero
or a heap corruption problem. Use this for about-to-release software to
locate hard-to-find memory leakages and other problems having to do with
memory allocation.
