FATR6@USU.BITNET (10/30/86)
I hope someone out there can help me. I am an Atari 8 bit user who needs to upgrade to a moore powerful machine for proogramming purposes. I have narrowed the field down to PC clones and the ST. I am wondering if there are full ANSI versions of the major languages out for the ST, especially Pascal and Prolog. I know OSS makes both but I don't know how 'mini/mainframe' compatable these are. If I get an ST who can comment on which monitor would be better monochrome or color. I am mainly going to use the machine for programming and uploads/downloads to a VAX and HP9000. I understand that the internal drives on the 1040 are bug ridden. Someone please help before I make a big mistake and buy a PC just for the software.
