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.
