Warning: The following is a commercial product announcement by a
company on the net.  In keeping with net concensus, it will be done
only once.  If you have moral objections, stop reading now!
====================================================================

Looking Glass Software has launched ALICE: The Personal Pascal,
a syntax-directed complete programming environment that is particularly good
for learning and prototyping.  It consists of an integrated template-driven
syntax directed editor with a Pascal interpreter and debugging facilities.
A syntax directed editor is an editor that intimately knows the syntax of a
language.  You edit your programs as program trees instead of dealing with
them as text.  New structures are built by filling in the blanks in templates.
Among other things, it's impossible to make a syntax error in such a system.

To see ALICE, pick up the January issue of Computer Language Magazine.
Each copy has an ALICE demo disk stuck to the front cover.  This is a full
version that can't save files.  You can also order the demo disk through
ads in Byte, PC and PC World.  It is published by Software Channels Inc.
of Houston and Toronto.  Or send mail to me for further information.
The program itself is $95 and is shipping now for the IBM-PC.

I won't go into major details here to avoid offending the net.  You can
mail for more full information, or if requested, I will post it to the net.
Here is a short list of some of the notable features of the system.

o Multi-level UNDO/REDO			o Symbol name completion (like TENEX)
o Menu of possible input at any point	o Edit multiple programs
o Colour to display semantic info	o code "hiding"
o Entry-time semantic error detection	o All action from menus if desired
o Use of uninitialized variables, bad array indicies etc. detected
o Motion picture execution mode		o Macros for customization
o Programmable editor (In Pascal!)	o Over 500 help screens
o Help on all commands, errors, built-in routines and features of Pascal

Phone 713-359-1024 for details or mail me.
