Easy for you to say Mr. I Get An Educational Discount! ;-)
If you're not interested in using Pascal can you delete that part to save
disk space? If so then maybe you could do the same thing to the C and C++

if I could save money by not buying that part of CodeWarrior that would be
great.

Like swimming in mashed potatoes; Where's the gravy baby?;
If you wish to place a call please hang up and dial again;
Bunch of balloons; Funny clown; Is the circus in town?
