I would love to see the reaction of some of you language experts to OSS's ACTION! for the Atari 8-bitters. It is structured, but reputedly so close to as fast as Assembly language as makes the difference not terribly significant. And it compiles faster than anything else known to Man (or Woman, for those who choose not to topologically identify the two lexical items for this purpose). If we are REALLY lucky, maybe OSS will come out with an ACTION! compiler for the ST. Then maybe the DoD will select it to replace ADA!!! (P.S. - in English the idiom is "comparing Apples and Oranges", but personally the pears sound tastier anyway.) -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
