After only one evening of examining OSS's pascal I am
impressed. 
1) The documentation is much clearer than Atari's own development
   kit and it flows logically.
2)It supports almost all GEM functions with some exceptions (redundant
  functions).  Actually it allows access to even those functions if
  you have DRI assembler or C compiler.
3)The programming environment is integrated very nicely into the ST
  GEM.  You do your compilation via a pull down menu.  The compilation
  and linking process seems pretty fast.
4)Sections covered:
  + Gem Initialization and Exiting
  + Alert Boxes
  + Dialog Boxes
  + Predefined Dialog boxes
  + The menu bar
  + Window management
  + Window Text and Graphics
  + Mouse control
  + Event management routines
  + GEM messages
  + Miscellaneous routines

OSS Pascal allows seperate program module compilation for later linking.
So one is able to build libraries, etc.

The documentation comes in a bound book with ~250 pages of
info.  The cost is around $80.  I prefer to work in C but the elegance
of OSS programming environment will force me to work in Pascal.
I compiled four of the included programs and found the compilation
speed reasonably fast.
