| 1392.1 | I'd like to buy STOS+extensions as well | COMICS::YOUNG | The bug is mightier than the fix. | Tue Jan 04 1994 14:27 | 2 |
| The same goes for STOS + extensions if anyone would
like to sell their version of it??

| 1392.2 | Pure C is the BEST | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeffrey A. Lomicka | Wed Jan 05 1994 15:56 | 18 |
| PUREC for the Atari ST, distributed in the US by Gribnif Software, is by
far the best C development platform I have ever used on any platform.
It's actually a DREAM when run on a TT with a 19" monitor.
It is better than Think C V6 for the Macintosh. It is better in some
ways even than Visual C++ for Windows (which is pretty good, a very
close second, and in some area is actually better than Pure C).
It's better than anything you can find for VMS or Unix.
You can have assembly language modules with Pure C, that's no problem. I
don't remember if it lets you inline assembly right in your C code or
not. I could look it up if you want.
I haven't updated in two years. I don't know if anything else is
better. BTW, the help files and manual are in German, but that wasn't a
problem for me, and I dont' speak ONE WORD of German. The user
interface is in English.

| So PURE-C's really that good - Wow. I'd heard that it was a variant of
Borland's Turbo-C that had been licensed by Borland and was only allowed to be
distributed in German form. Does this information sound credible?

| 1392.4 | Pure-C | COL01::BOEHM | Irren ist m�nnlich | Mon Jan 10 1994 07:11 | 31 |
| I agree with Jeff on what he said about Pure-C. The current Version is 1.1.
It's still under development. Next step is (as far as I know), to make it (fully)
compatible with multitasking environments (MTOS and Mag!X), especially the
debugger and the shell.
The compiler was completely developed in Germany in 1986/87(by a software house
in Munich, forgot the name). Borland marketed the compiler under his license as
TURBO-C in Germany. Then Borland stopped this in '89/90. The development team
founded a new company: PURIX Software. They brought out PURE-C, which is based
on TURBO-C, of course. The license is still at Borland.
PURIX also developed Pure-PASCAL, which is Borland-PASCAL v6 and V7 compatible
(object oriented language!). And PROFILE, a profiling program for PURE-C and PURE-
PASCAL.
Other C compilers for the ST:
- GNU-C and GNU-C++ (but you should have at least 3MB of main memory
and a TT type system). GNU-C is free
- Lattice C (V5.x) Commercial Prod. Here in Germany: CCD
- Sozobon C V2.x PD. There are several utilities for this
compiler (a dev. shell, ...) by Holger Weets,
Germany
Btw.: Inline Assembler is not possible with Pure-C! But there is an 68000/68020/
68030 assembler available, which is part of the PURE-C Dev. system.

| 1392.5 | MegaMax C
| AYOV25::PBROWN | | Tue Jan 11 1994 05:39 | 11 |
| I have an old C compiler called Megamax C. I believe it is now called by dome
some other name but is essentially the same. This has a shell and from this you
can define the name and paths of the editor/compiler/linker and utilities. It
came with various source code examples many of which have embedded 68000
assembly code. The most memorable example prompts for a number and then
calculates e that number of decimal places. A normal compilation is all that is
required irrespective of whether it is straight c or a combination of assembly
and c.
