What sort of application do you intend writing? I've never used Pascal seriously, but I am impressed by its accessibility to novice programmers and, of course, it is well supported on Mac OS. However the string handling sucks in all of the Mac versions that I have seen.

There have been some good threads here previously about "which language" so do a search. Remember, though, that the "best" language will depend on the nature of your software and the target Mac OS version. Think/Symantec C is the best all rounder, but the learning curve is high. RealBasic is brilliant for quick and dirty utilities for a 68030 or faster.

I have copies of the freely distributed Think Pascal, so PM for them.
