hello netlanders,

the Sept edition of C't just arrived and it seems that Turbo-C for the ST
really ISNT vaporware!

page 133 has a full page add from about Turbo-C:

        Heimsoeth Software
        GmbH & Co.KG
        Lindwurmstrasse 88
        D-800 Muenchen 2

Turbo-C for the Atari ST        191,52 DM       ( about 100 $ )
Assembler and Debugger          191,52 DM       ( ditto )
Turbo-C+Assembler and Debugger  282,72 DM       ( about 150 $ )

The ad says that it comes with a shell, various tools, supports GEM,
has IEEE floating point and does 1690 Dhrystones!!!!

If this dhrystone figure is for real then this compiler generates BY FAR the
fastest character/integer code around for the ST.   Here's an amusing thought:
with the 16 MHz board from Megabyte, this compiler would do well over THREE
thousand dhrystones -- and thats about as good a rating as you can find for
a MAC-II c compiler! ;-)
