I'm fairly new to the Mac scene, and I'm looking for a good Pascal and C
compiler. Since I've worked wtih Turbo Pascal on the IBM, I guess I'll
probably go ahead and buy Turbo Pascal for the Mac (or is there something
better for a decent price?) but the question is which C to get. I want
something to learn the language on but will have extensive advanced
programming techniques available for future use (possibly developing software
on, too). So it boils down to: Which is better, Turbo C or Lightspeed C?
I've heard nice things about Lightspeed C and would assume that Turbo C is as
good as Turbo Pascal (but with what I've heard about Turbo Prolog it may not
necessarily be that way), well I'm sure you have a general idea of what I
want to know, so I'll leave it at that.... Also, is Turbo C @bold{available}
on the Mac yet. This is for use on a Mac SE with a 20 mb HD. Thanks in
advance.
