1607.0. "Amiga software developement" by TRUCKS::CHANT (Something different) Thu Aug 18 1988 05:26


    Does the AMIGA come with a screen oriented debugger ?
     "    "    "    "    "   a screen editor ?


    Which are the better versions of C available ?
    Does it have the ability for inline 680x0 code ?


    Is a version of PROLOG available for the AMIGA ?


    Thanks,

    Adrian

	The Amiga comes with a screen editor (ED) and I guess Amiga BASIC could be considered to have a screen-oriented debugger, but it isn't nearly as good as VAX DEBUG in screen mode. There are two good C compilers available, from Manx and Lattice. I don't know about inlining assembly code or Prolog. John Sauter
1607.2	some more answers	JFRSON::OSBORNE	Blade Walker	`Thu Aug 18 1988 09:58`	18
	Re: .0 Many public-domain editors, emacs probably being the most popular, available over the net or on Fred Fish disks. Manx C has SDB, a screen-oriented source code debugger, and has ability to accept in-line assembly code. Not cheap- $250 to $400 range, depending on extras. AmigaBasic has on-screen trace debugging, but people complain about many shortcomings in handling Amiga graphics/sound functions. VTPROLOG is available for Amiga in public domain, if someone's compiled it and can arc and post the executable. (It will also compile on VAX, but there's a couple of functions missing at link time, and I haven't had time to fix it...) Anyone using VTPROLOG? John O.
1607.3	MicroEmacsii	COOKIE::WITHERS		`Thu Aug 18 1988 11:47`	17
	MicroEmacs is also available for the Amiga...in at least 3 versions: The version on the Extras disk - pretty crufty, but my wife likes it The VMS/Ultrix/Amiga version available out of CXO (and available to Digits only) that's programable, key-mapable, and works on the AUX: device and The version that's based on the MicroEmacs that's been floating around the Usenet for a while (covered in the MICROEMACS VAXnotes conference).

	WISDOM prolog can be had from MIT press. (617)253-2884 I don't know anything about this. It was probably a graduate project but they also offer it for the MAC and IBM pc. There is an ad for this in the back of "The Art of Prolog" by Leon Sterling and Ehud Shapiro. - steve
1607.5	UE Shareware Editor	PANIC::SHORT	Peter Short, UK, A500	`Fri Aug 26 1988 10:06`	9
	The best editor that I have found so far is UE (you edit!), I got my copy from one of the Transacator disks (Disk #1 or #2). UE is shareware, has popdown menus, multiple buffers, is user configurable,... I think it allows you to bind the keys to different functions, but I have not yet managed to do this. Has anyone? If they have is there an easy way to make it emulate EDT?

	> The best editor that I have found so far is UE (you edit!), I got --------------- I agree! I have be using Uedit for some time now and have been slowly but surely tailoring it to emulate SEDT with Dick Danek's GOLD key commands. I haven't needed to rush as it is more than usable 'right out of the box'. Binding keys (and key combinations) to functions is simple. Register yourself and get the manual if you plan to do anything extensive. See notes 383 and 814 for additional detail. Art P.S. I have v2.3H which I will upload (shareware version) first of next week. Main change/feature of this version is an AREXX interface.
