I need some recommendations from you programmers out there. I just purchased a 1040st and am looking for a C compiler with a good symbolic debugger and a good Pascal compiler. It would be nice if they came from the same company. Also, I recently picked up a copy of STLog and was amazed at how few ads there were in it. Normally this might be considered good, but since I don't have many Atari dealers near me (that I know of) ads in magazines are a great source of information. Is STLog always like this ? Are there other ST specific magazines I can and should read ? thanks in advance, ===================================================================== | | | Keith Hedger : {...!}uunet!inmet!hedger hedger@inmet.inmet.com | | 'It is a sad, but beautiful world..........' | =====================================================================

Personal Pascal 2 is the only good Pascal Compiler for Atari ST !!! Low cost - Almost Turbo Pascal compatible - easy to use Superb editor (faster than any other editor I have used) Lars-Erik / ABK-BBS +47 2132659 / ____ ______ Osterud / larserio@ifi.uio.no / /___ / ____________/ _______________________/ ____/ /

Direct mail bounced, so I'm posting here... To the person looking for C and Pascal compilers for the ST: Try taking a look at Prospero Software's line of compilers. They have C, Pascal, and Fortran. The three are compatible (object module level I believe) so that you can call C routines from Pascal, Fortan from C, etc. I personally have their Pascal compiler and have been pleased so far. It comes with an integrated 'workbench' environment a la Turbo Pascal. The editor (at least my version) is rather slow, but quite usable. The package also comes with GEM, AES, and VDI documentation that is quite informative and INDEXED. I have no relation with Prospero except as a satisfied customer - thru tech support I recently found I had a rather old version, so I have an upgrade on the way ($10 handling fee), I will post more if people are interested. Also, there was a review of a number of compilers in Current Notes a few months back, again, I can look up the issue if asked. -- Stephen Goldstein steveg@saic.com My first Atari system?
