Could anyone please supply an objective reveiw of Lattice C V5 and of Prospero C. Reason being, I would like to port some ANSI compatible C code over to the ST. Which of the two is the better value for money and which is easier to use and how close does each adhere to the ANSI C standard. Also I would like to know, could they handle K&R code without too many problems. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Nino Benci. * Confucious say * * Monash University, Caulfield Campus * 'Never stand alone against * * Physics Department * against ignorance' * * 900 Dandenong Rd, Caulfield East * * * VIC, 3145.

Thanks in advance. Gnu C is free and ANSI-compliant (fully), and it also works _very_ well with K&R code (use the -traditional flag). It needs at least a 2 meg machine, though. With MiNT and the MiNT library, you can port Unix code practically unmodified (just change a file name here and there, ie. .emacsrc > emacs.rc).
