	ok 2 choices really MPW ( gag ) or **** Think C ****
	Thats about it really the pick of the bunch has to be TC really.
MPW is okish but is a bit of a dog to work with and all the people that
I know who program MACs use TC.

>2.  What are the available assemblers for the Mac?
	MPW , TC ( one builtin)   Why program directly in assembler
agreed some things go faster in assembler if you code them directly. 
But don't write it *all* in assembler use in the builtin asm command in TC.

>3.  What books or documentation are recommended that describe graphics

	Inside Mac I-VI are a must they will tell you everything you
*ever* need to know.  Covers all the OS routines, user interface, etc. 
OK they're a little pricy but...  well worth the price.
