[] hello netlanders, the Sept edition of C't just arrived and it seems that Turbo-C for the ST really ISNT vaporware! page 133 has a full page add from about Turbo-C: Heimsoeth Software GmbH & Co.KG Lindwurmstrasse 88 D-800 Muenchen 2 Turbo-C for the Atari ST 191,52 DM ( about 100 $ ) Assembler and Debugger 191,52 DM ( ditto ) Turbo-C+Assembler and Debugger 282,72 DM ( about 150 $ ) The ad says that it comes with a shell, various tools, supports GEM, has IEEE floating point and does 1690 Dhrystones!!!! If this dhrystone figure is for real then this compiler generates BY FAR the fastest character/integer code around for the ST. Here's an amusing thought: with the 16 MHz board from Megabyte, this compiler would do well over THREE thousand dhrystones -- and thats about as good a rating as you can find for a MAC-II c compiler! ;-) []
