Question: I read some time ago a message from the Sozobon TOP writer that there was no magazine feedback on the Sozobon compiler etc. I was just wondering, as I have tried it out, although I'm back to HiSoft Basic mostly, it is one of the better compilers out there... The optimizer (the new one posted earlier) does great optimization with registerizing of variables etc. The only fallback is that a good gemlib set up was impossible for me to implement. Is it that it is too good? There haven't been any write ups on Uniterm either to my knowledge... A couple of free ware products that could put Laser C2.0 an some others to shame if fully implemented. These guys are one of the reason I love my ST. Hacks just programming for programming's sake. It's the closest to an artform that programming can come. I think some of the magazines should do some interviews with these guys. Hell, I'll call Simon Poole when I go home to Basel for Christmas... Just some thoughts... -Spieu! G.M.L-K.
