    Does anybody know how similar the ST and PC versions of the compiler 
are ? The reason I ask is that I have Turbo C v1.5 for the PC and if the
two versions were similar I might be able to make do with the PC manual
for all the UN*X-like stuff and only be forced onto the German manual for
the GEM/ST specific stuff.
   
   I would naturally prefer an English version on Turbo C but might be
left waiting for a long time.

  Any information would be appreciated,

      Padraig.
