IMHO too I have never had much luck with Atari software developers.
About three years ago when Prospero 'C' came out it seemed like the
answer to my problems - a decent 'C' compiler with source level
debugging for the Atari! But alas it was not to be, it had several
nasty bugs. I wrote to them a couple of times, even sent examples
of the bugs but nothing. So I threw that compiler away... The moral
seems to be unless you're a big customer you're on your own. If anyone's
found something to the contrary, I'd love to hear it! :-)

Keith.
