Thanks to Jedwar Bammi for providing the patches and destructions, I now appear
(at long last) have a GCC cross-compiler up and running.
Before I get down to business actually attempting the porting -----
1. Has anyone else managed to (attempted to) port CScheme to the Atari ST
under TOS?
2. Has anyone else managed to (attempted to) port Elk to the Atari ST
under TOS?
3. Has anyone else managed to (attempted to) port SBProlog to the Atari ST
under TOS?
Fatigued and dulled minds would like to know.
Graham

If your dealer hasn't ordered the new TOS recently he may not have it, but his contact in dealer services at Atari Corp. will be happy to send it to him. In short the addendum addresses: 1. The file selector (expanded drive selector,improved wildcards). 2. Moving files by holding down [Control] as you click on and drag selected files. 3. Skip option available for group copying. 4. Aborting group move, copy, or delete operation by holding down [Undo]. 5. Disks formatted are fully MS-DOS compatible. 6. The Install Applications option allows you select an application to auto-boot. 7. Copy and Format dialogs have been combined. 8. Folders can be renamed. 9. The [Control][Alt][Delete] sequence will reset your computer. The [Control][Alt][Right Shift][Delete] causes a cold boot. The addendum does not address improvements such as improved FAT searches or a more responsive mouse. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ...ames!atari!jpatton
