If you haven't purchased your Pascal yet, STOP.
Buy Lightspeed Pascal. This is an unbiased recommendation, based on the
fact that Lightspeed Pascal is a far more polished product than is
Turbo. Lightspeed Pascal offers superior project management (a sophisticated
kind of version control is what it is) coupled with very fast compilation and
linkage. IN addition, LSP's symbolic debugging facilities are unmatched
anywhere.
As far as C goes, I don't think Turbo C on the Mac exists yet; in any
case, I would again recommend Lightspeed C -- it's a good cX7 product, and
offers many of the advantages of Lightspeed Pacal -- fast compiler and linker;
in addition, it is *very* HFS-aware, and offers a similar project-management
facility.
I'm not associated with THINK, but I use their products 8 or more
hours a day in the course of my work, so I feel qualified to comment...
