Software and Hardware advice needed for Apple //c
A close friend just received an Apple //c as a present and now has come
to me for advice. After having boasted about the virtues of C, he is
not content with Basic and desires a C compiler. In addition, he will
probably need a printer (although I believe he had an Epson from his
old Commodore-64 days).
Wanted Advice on the following:
C Compiler Should be low cost, fairly complete, able to talk to
the printer port. In addition, it should generate
native code that can be run without the compiler or
assembler. It should also run under the built in
DOS and not require its own DOS.
Printer Type of interface?, if he has the Epson, is that OK?
What about the Apple printer(s)? Are there any major
advantages to Apple printers over others?
Editor Is the one that comes with the //c OK? Does one come
with the Compiler(?) what is the best?
Like most of us, he is on a budget, so price *IS* a consideration.
As you can probably tell, I have no experience with Apple and
would not like to suggest something inappropriate; that is why
I posted here. I'm reasonably sure that there is at least one
person in this group that already has a //c configured just this way.
Again, the net would prefer that you mail responses directly to me,
I will summarize to the net shortly.
Thanx...

Look, there's a REASON for net.micro.apple, and the rest of the net.micro.foo groups. The reason is to keep the volume of stuff in net.micro down to a resonable level. Many of us do not have an Apple, or an IBM, or a Trash-80, or whatever, and DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT THEM. Understand? Articles in net.micro should be of interest to a general audience. (or about something which doesn't generate enough traffic to justify it's own group) class dismissed. _____ |___| the Bavarian Beagle _|___|_ Snoopy \_____/ tektronix!mako!seifert \___/ If God had intended Man to Smoke, He would have set him on Fire. -the fortune AI project
