the latest issue of STart has GFA Basic V 2.0 on disk. Since it is almost like being free, perhaps Atari can think getting the right to distribute GFA Basic V. 2 with every Atari ST instead of the terrible ST BASIC. This will help selling the ST. Atari, what is your opinion (Mr. Good)?

In Germany Omikron Basic Rev. 3.0 is shipped with every Atari. Other Atari owners can get it for 19.95 DM (~ 11.-$). While GFA has advantages in graphic applications (very minor ones) Omikron is very strong in mathematical applications. I even think of using it myself. uli ( <- Still Fortran hacker ) +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ulrich Liesenfeld | <uli@analyt.chemie.uni-bochum.dbp.de> | | Ruhr-Uni Bochum |..unido!gmdzi!analyt.chemie.uni-bochum.dbp.de!uli | | Analytische Chemie |---------------------------------------------------| | 4630 Bochum | #define WARRANTY disclaimer | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
