What is/are the difference(s), if any, between the Comal being released on
a recent FISH disk and the Comal being offered by the Comal Users Group?
I understand the FISH version compiles to P-Code. Is the other native-mode
(i.e., runs stand-alone)? How well do they support system calls, libraries,
etc.? Can they be used for commercial development? Any information relating
to the current implementations' viability for commercial (development
environment) applications would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! > Julie Petersen (LadyHawke@cup.portal.com) The Comal Users Group in Madison Wisc. has been selling the latest version of AmigaComal for several months now. Just recently they were authorized to release a demo version with the 'save' and 'enter' functions disabled. This was first uploaded to People Link and has since been cross posted to Genie and to a number of BBS's. I have not seen the version on the Fish disk yet, but I would imagine that Len Lindsey of the Comal Users Group sent the demo to Fred and that is what you are seeing there. There is a compiler for Comal available separately for about $35 that will make Comal feasable for comercial development.
