I have Prospero-C and it is "...a complete implemention of the proposed
ANSI standard for C for use on the Atari-ST range of computers"
(quoted from the back of the box it came in)
It is a very complete package, comes with a debuger and a nice gem based
shell to work from. I used it to port some IBM stuff written for
Turbo-C V2.0 (Bibtex V0.99c) and the port was almost trivial!!
It has excellent documentation (almost 1000 pages in 4 separate spiral
notebooks) and is very robust, I haven't had a single crash from the
shell yet! The only real drawback with it is that it isn't exactly a speed
demon!! But it runs fine on my 1meg machine and hard drive
I recommend it to anyone with only 1meg and who wants a 100% ANSI-C
compliant compiler :-)
No, I don't work for them (see signature block :-))
