ALL: Programming the Amiga can be fun, but its not when the complier your using is not supported. I really like Modula-2, but with recent developements like the loss of M2S (makers of M2 Sprint) programming in M2 can be down right dangerous. Other compilers whiee availablee are not supported or improved. For example Benchmark has been around for eons with few improvments or even bug fixes that I know of. So with that off my chest... I have decided to switch to C as the programming language of choice. Lattice C is well supportted and that is what I will be using. If anyone knows of a version greater than 5.04 please let me know. Also if you can tell my how to use Cygnus Ed, Arexx and Lattice C together I would be grateful. Also can you recommend good bks on C prging? --

Personally, I consider this to be a major improvement to the programming environment. As far as bug fixes go: what bugs have you found that aren't fixed??? I know that some work could be done to improve code speed, but this stuff always scares me -- look at the problems it has caused with both C compilers. -- Stewart Winter Cognos Incorporated S-mail: P.O.
