< Eat Me > From what I can gather from the net the Lattice C compiler on the Amiga fully supports 64 bit floting point. At the UK pre-launch bun parties given by so called experts from Commodore they informed me and several other progammers and developers that the Amiga not only did not support any floting point, but Commodore had no intention of supplying a floting point package. Unless I have got it wrong from the net the ROM kernel has all the routines reqired and laticce C supports them. If this is the case Commodore US need to tell the UK side to try and get their facts right. The Machine will not be launched in the UK until Jan-Feb of 86. Development systems are available to "Corprate and Educational buyers" and cost 1700 pounds. This seems to back up the one pound = one dollar in computer circles. P.S. does anyone know anyting about grabing or overlaying a NON NTSC video signal. I need to be able to combine PAL colour from live action and Amiga graphics.
