MPW is a shell system, a set of utilities and an assembler and linker. It is a very complete, Unix-like environment. Pascal and C are extra-cost additions. If you like Unix, you will love it, if you don't think Unix is that terrific then you will tolerate the interface to get the power and the standardization (everybody, almost, uses it). Unfortunately you can obtain it only from APDA in Renton WA. It is a very debatable issue as to whether APDA can be called a "reputable dealer". You can call APDA at (206) 251-6548 to join (it's a coop) and order MPW. Then you wait for a couple of years, and MPW will arrive with at least two disks unreadable. Then you call them and ask for readable disks; then you wait another indeterminate period -- and you'll have MPW!! Good luck! -r (Richard Reich as russell@nyu)
