'Went to the SICOB yesterday (Our french big annual computer/office
fair), saw the Atari huge area, saw the PC2, PC4, ABAQ.

PC2/PC4 are not for sale, hardware problems, list price for PC2 was given
anyway.

ABAQ (?) was running, a graphic demo on a beautiful screen (a NEC Multisynch
XL).

No trace of the '030.

Seen a working version of Turbo C for Atari, seen the thing compile/link
at very interesting speed, and even do the run for the well known
Dhrystone 1.1 benchmark, saying: 1503. (I am impressed, the best I got with
MWC 1.x was around 950, never did with 2.x. Somebody with 3.0 ?)
(Hell it runs at more than 23000 on my usual UNIX box, but then it
is a really expensive box.)
But it is not for sale yet. the About Turbo C window says:
Turbo C for Atari version 1, Borland & ???? (A german name most probably)
Anybody got reliable infos about Turbo C on Atari. (I love good C compilers)

That's all for now folks.
