(to anyone who knows)

- What WP software for the Amiga do you recommend?  I tend to
like TeX/troff over WYSIWYG, but have some good about
WordPerfect...

- What language implementations do you recommend?  I used MANX C
for awhile in the past, but the slow turnaround time for
editing, compiling, editing, debugging can discourage anyone not
working full-time on Amiga software.  I would *really* like
Smalltalk and C-Scheme, maybe even a decent Logo...  I do remember
JForth was available, but write-only Forth code looks like
ancient hieroglyphics... (of course, it'd be nice if Amiga
libraries were supported for your favorite language)

- How about text editors?  I think I still have that uEmacs from
1.2 beta around here somewhere.

- Shells? Games? Graphics goodies?  All of the above on what Fred
Fish disk #___ (you fill in the blank).

I realize posting all this stuff to the net is a bit much, so
mail to me, please, and I will summarize after a reasonable
number of replies.  Thanks much!
