I recently received a mail reply informing me that my above statement was wrong. The following is that reply: Subject: You are wrong I am VIRTUALLY positive that at least one of the C compilers for the GS can also make 8 bit code. That is, your statement saying something like MANX C is the only C compiler for 8 bit Apples is wrong. AND THAT DOESNT EVEN MENTION HYPERC which you should have seen talked about if you read the net!! -- unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Which GS compiler would that be? I only know of the APW and ORCA C compilers, and I've never read or heard that either one of those generated 8 bit code. And yes, I'm aware of HyperC, but I'm also aware that HyperC is no longer supported. Besides, I didn't say that MANX C was the only choice, I said it was ABOUT the only choice. And, since it is the only supported version of C that runs on 8 bit Apples, I'd say that it is a basically true statement. Maybe I should have been more clear and said: (If you want to develop in C ON 8 bit Apples, this ^^ is about your only choice for a full featured and supported C compiler) And what is this "unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu" stuff. If you are going to flame somebody, at least have the decency of letting them know who is they are being flamed by. Just wanted to get this off my chest.
