About C power, who is the manufacturer? Is it worth? Is there any better C compiler for 64 and 128?

The manufacturer is Pro-Line Software, Ltd. (755 The Queensway East, Unit 8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4Y 4C5). To my knowledge, there is only one other C compiler for the 64/128, by Abacus. C-Power is vastly superior in terms of ease of use and quality of generated code.

I saw an add in a magazine for MANX C for the 6502 processor. Specifically in the add copy they mentioned the Commodore 64. I have PC (8086) Manx C and the package includes grep, make, and a very fast, tight compiler. I would assume the same tools would be included with the 6502 version. Unfortunately, the commerical version of Manx (the one with all the goodes) is quite expensive; about $425 dollars I think. Let's see, now - how many C-64's could you buy for $425... :-) -- Dan Green -- ARPA: hsgj%vax2.ccs.cornell.edu@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu UUCP: ihnp4!cornell!batcomputer!hsgj BITNET: hsgj@cornella

Manx advertised a version for the C-64, a long time ago, but couldn't deliver. Probably because of the brain damaged memory layout (4k chunk used for i/o, 8k for the OS, etc) the amazingly crude 1541 drive (that little bugger has been driving me crazy lately, it refuses to handle relative files in a rational manner!) and the crude nature of the Kernal. They do, however, sell a C-64 cross compiler, which runs on a "real" computer producing code for your 64. Sounds like a drag... edit, compile, link, download to c64, edit, compile, link....... Oh well, maybe someday we can all afford Amigas :-). -- -- Computing from the Bayous, -- Eric Green {akgua,ut-sally}!usl!elg (Snail Mail P.O. Box 92191, Lafayette, LA 70509)
