I folk-
I read sometime ago here that the people at Manx got
the 2.0 WB specs for them to fool around with to make Aztec C
2.0 compatible. Someone else posted saying that Lattice had
already gotten that and included it in Lattice C V5.10.
Is this true? I am in need of a C compiler for my new 3000
but want a compiler that's really going to work NOW on my
machine. I've been holding off until I see a 2.0 compatible
sticker on either Lattice or Manx...
Question: Is Lattice 5.10 REALLY running on a 3000 with
WB2.0? Is any version of Aztec C?
Second Question: I'm leaning toward Lattice, since it
seems to be the current favorite. But I'd welcome any E-mail
of personal preferences.
I will mostly using it to do science, but I want to
fool around with my own nifty stuff for my Amiga.....
Thanks in Advance,

SAS/C (Lattice C) for the Amiga is shipping now with a little green "2.0 compatible" sticker on it. It has Commodore include files for both 1.3 and 2.0, and takes advantage of 2.0 features when running under 2.0. -- John Meissen ..............................

SAS/C 5.10 (successor to Lattice C) does have the 2.0 compatibility sticker. In fact, any version 5.x Lattice compiler will run under 2.0, but 5.10 comes with the 2.0 include files. The only 2.0 problems the earlier version had was that LSE (the editor) didn't work properly if the workbench had 8 or more colors, and CPR (the debugger) had some cosmetic ugliness with its window borders. The 2.0 include files are important if you want to use the new 2.0 features, of course, but the actual executables of the earlier version work just fine. I've had an A3000 at SAS since a month before the announcement, and I've had one at home since a month after. Commodore used the compiler to compile Workbench 2.0 and various parts of hte system, and the Software Distillery used it to compile the 2.0 DOS commands. I'd have to say it's pretty well tested on the configuration you will have :-). ***** =*|_o_o|\\=====Doug Walker, Software Distiller====== BBS: (919)460-7430 = *|. o.| || | o |// For all you do, this bug's for you! ====== usenet: ...mcnc!rti!sas!walker plink: dwalker bix: djwalker

A "full development system"? Sounds pretty impressive. Aside from a
compiler, assembler, linker, editor, symbolic debugger, librarian, make,
includes, and a manual, what else do you get? ;-)
