The Department of Maths & Stats here wants to get a simple Pascal compiler for
use in a lab of 24 Mac Pluses/SEs with an AppleShare file server.  Mac Pascal
from Symantec seems to be the most likely contender.  I am interested to hear
from any users about its suitability for our intended use, or of anything else
that might be out there that is cheaper and/or better for similar cost.

It will be used mainly be students doing introductory numerical analysis, so
double precision arithmetic isn't essential.  No programming with the Mac
interface is expected, so students will need to be able to get hard copy of
their source and TEXT output.  Is this easy in Mac Pascal?
