The two main reasons are compile time/convinence, features and most especialy the fact that Blitz converts all interger variables to intergers. (PetSpeed converts integer to Float; does the calculations; then converts back.) Blitz programs come out shorter also... PetSpeed is no longer being sold... call up some software stores that have gone out of the commodore business they may have it on some back shelf. Maybe you should look into public domain PROMAL............
