I have heard that Aztec C for other machines has been pretty good. I don't have MANX's number handy but can get it. They usually advertise in BYTE. Then there is Lightspeed C from Think Technologies of Lexington, MA. This currently runs only on the Mac, but if you have Magic Sac or the new emulator from Europe, maybe you can use it on your ST. Lightspeed C is said to be very fast, e.g. they quote about 6200 lines of code per minute of compile time. If everybody who cares about C would call up Think Technologies and plead with them to port Lightspeed C to the ST, they just might do it. Their phone number is (617) 863-5590. Their sales manager's name is Betty Rock. Another person you could talk to is Ellen Neavitt, with whom I have spoken about the ST market. Another thought: If someone out there with developer tendencies would offer to do the conversion for them, especially on a royalty basis (i.e. at no up-front cost to them), Lightspeed might be very interested. -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't have any financial interest in, nor receive any remuneration from, any of the above-mentioned companies, and darn few others.
