I recently purchased an Amiga and have been waiting for some real
software to run on it. I also have been saving the posted C programs
that I have received from this group in anticipation of purchasing
a C compiler when one was available.
Well, I have now found a local store that actually has copies of
the Lattice C compiler and I have several questions that the sales
people in the store could not (would not? :-) answer.
1. Just what is included in the package? The packaging for the
compiler was just a white cover with no description of what was
inside. Are there libraries of functions for graphics, color
control, sound creation, etc.? What libraries are included?
2. What are some of the experiences of users with the package?
Is it complete? Is it buggy? Does it produce good code?
How efficient is it in compiling C source?
3. What hardware (if any) is required above the basic system to
use the compiler? What hardware (disks, memory, etc.) improve
the performance of the compiler?
4. Is $150 for the compiler a good price, or should I keep looking?
Still waiting for documentation,
