there was an editor, an assembler and a resource compiler which put it all together. We
did a lot of "sneaker net" with floppies. And we learned to swear at the 5mb

drives.
I've never used Think Pascal, but I did use Think C (LightSpeed C) a lot. I wonder
if you could port it
to Think Pascal... I would think you could. Or maybe it would "just build"
using MPW. I doubt it,
however. MPW and the Lisa didn't share much as I recall.

I had been thinking about this. I was thinking that MPW was a 68020 and greater tool and
that the original compiler came from Motorola or somebody big like that. Any thoughts?
Has anyone just asked Bill Atkinson?
