I called it and got the U.S. Dept of Energy! Try *416*273-6350. I talked to someone at Pro-Line who claimed that they'll have a c compiler out in Jan. 1985. It supposedly will be a full C implementation including the associated library routines. And they anticipate selling it for around $100 canadian dollars. (in U.S. currency it'd be less). That's all there's to tell so far. For those of you who have been waiting for MANX (Aztec C) to come out with a C Compiler with the C64 as a host development system, forget it. (in spite of what their ads may appear to tell you). Altho they had intended on developing such a creature, they claim that the slow/disk-bound nature of the c64 makes the compiler unacceptable for development use and that the reputation of their compilers for other machines might suffer if they released it. They recommend using one of their cross-compilers for the c64 instead. exit(1) -ron blechman hou4b!ribl
