   Friends..

   I am interested in programming in C.
   I know a little bit about it.
   I'm fluent with Pascal.

   My question for anyone out there who knows is this:

Rather than spending money on one of those, I recommend you find
someone local with the Fish disks, and get one of the three or 4
freely distributable C compiles. I haven't used any of them, but know
of people who've used them all. From what I've heard, DICE is the
best, and has the advantage that you can get a "complete" distribution
that includes the Amiga-specific includes by registering it.

Note: this is suitable for unix-like programming on the Amiga. You'll
need the include files that are licensed by CBM in order to do
amiga-specific things. But for just fooling with C, what's in the
packages should get you started.

BTW, I use Lattice. Excellent product, with excellent support. The
latter is the cricital issue.

Agreed.  The test-it-yourself version of DICE is very nice, and very
comfortable for someone who's used Unix.  I can't justify using it
until Matt puts in in-line 68881 code generation, though.

I use Manx.  Excellent product, increasingly poor support.  If I had the $$
for a new compiler, I'd be switching to SAS/C.  (Long time net readers know
that I've owned the Manx compiler since it was first released in mid-1986,
so this is quite a statement for me to make.  I'll retract it in public
when things change for the better.)
