[ which bug is better?  New Bug or Classic bug?]

I have a project which started in Turbo Pascal;  by the time MPW
arrived I was quite satisfied with Turbo as a compiler and didn't
care to switch.  (As an aside:  Turbo runs just fine on my old
512 UN ENHANCED that I have at home;  one 400K disk for compiler/editor
and system; another for source/object.... name another reasonable 
system that still does that!  Great for trying out late night ideas
right when you have them, if you don't want to buy this year's model
every other year...)
	However, I have MPW on the machine I use here at work;  and I find
it quite handy as a general text processing/utility shell.  For example:
source listing and cross referencing;  pretty printing;  automatic
conversion between compiler variations via shell scripts;  and file
diddling (like running SETFILE on all files on a floppy that's just
been handed to me for disk repairs).   MPW is quite useful without
ever using the compilers.  At APDA prices, it is still a reasonable
choice for a grab bag of utilities.
