Thanks for the great answers.. I used them to do a bit more research to
learn about the fascinating world of Apple Pascal. The fact that it's
interpreted explains why SmartCom I was on the slow side!
It's amazing how much they packed into the tiny memory capacity of the
Apple II back then. A Pascal compiler? Whoah. I have a hard time
imagining it these days with gigs of disk and memory available for us to
waste...
