No, that's not what I said at all. I can buy Maple and FORTRAN for
other machines; so when I want to move the source code I have in
FORTRAN (which is worth much more than the compiler) doesn't have to be
re-written. This is a pretty standard definition of portability.

As for the rest of your post: sheer flames in email please. I think
that maybe joe average comp.sys.atari.st user isn't so interested in
how many years you've been using what computers. Just because the
TT/P isn't right for you doesn't mean you should tell the whole
world about it in comp.sys.atari.st... We've already heard from Mr.
Convert repeatedly on that subject.

Your mileage may vary. Don't buy if you don't like it.
