I have the MT C-Shell and the Tools from BDT. The current versions of both work fine, it is a very good environment for working on the ST. The command-line editing is really very good - I got spoiled by VMS, and the BDT C-Shell is just as good. The Software Tools Dave and gang sell all work as advertised - I've not had a problem with one of them yet. I don't know if the Lattice C compiler works with it or not, but I doubt it. The Lattice compiler barely works run from the desktop, and does not use the standard handles for console I/O for some silly reason. This means you can't properly redirect stdin and stdout (or stderr) from the shell. This seems to be a mistake in Lattice C, since MWC and assembler programs that use the standard handles (0 and 1) work just fine. -- {hpda, uwmcsd1}!sp7040!obie!wes "Happiness lies in being priviledged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing." -- Robert A.
