Can someone tell me how similar MPW is to the C-shell in Unix? I've been an
avid USER of the Mac fan since the early days ('84), but to this day I have 
never PROGRAMMED on the Mac. I'm too hooked on vi, make, history (!), grep, 
awk, pipes, shell scripts, and other features of Unix on my SparcStation.

Also, isn't it true that MPW is the only platform on which you can program
in C++? If not, what other product is there? (A related question -- does
anyone know if MPW C++ supports templates?)

Thanks,
