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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Biggers Siemens Research & Technology Laboratories 105 College Road East Princeton, NJ 08540 (609) 734-3325 UUCP: {almost anywhere}!princeton!siemens!biggers ARPA: biggers%siemens@princeton.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
