     I have an Atari 800 with 48K, one Percom double density disk drive,
and 2 Atari single density drives.  I want to know if anyone out there in
net land has heard of any serious system development software for
the Atari.  Specifically, I am looking for:

	- a >good< C compiler (not one of the tiny Cs floating around),
	- a better DOS (possibly allowing sub-directories and a hierarchy,
	  though I don't hold out much hope for this),
	- a good screen editor.  The screen editor that comes with the
	  Atari Macro Assembler isn't too bad, but...

     Also, has anyone heard of a hard disk available for the 800?  I
suspect that there is one lying around somewhere, but haven't heard of
it.

     Many thanks in advance, and if there is sufficient interest I'll post
a summary of what I hear/read.
