The creature does, in fact, exist. Unfortuntely, even though it's an
excelent first-round attempt, I decided I wouldn't want to use it for
any significant work. (Significant = anything over 100 lines of code)
The compiler does work, but since it doesn't support all the features
-I- personaly use in normal development work I can't use it. Sorry,
if you plan on doing serious work on the ST in C, you'll still need
to get a non-PD compiler...
On the other hand, if you're looking for a good inexpensive learning
tool, by all means, get it if you can. (Sorry I can't send it to you.
I don't have the archive any more.)
