As far as I know, the only documentation is 660 pages paperback instruction
manual, describing the implementation, the user environments and all
libraries (stdlib, toslib and gemlib).
Unfortunately, the book is entirely written in German, which is *really*
annoying. This is what I understood from an article in a Dutch Atari
magazine: Borland USA supplied the parser, Heimsoeth Germany (Munich) did
the real compiler design. No flames if this isn't true !!!!!
You know, most of us Dutchies have been tought German language at school
and have only little problem to read and understand German writing, also
due to the fact that the Netherlands border on Western Germany, but no
doubt I'm really looking forward for an English version....
