The previous reply in this thread had an error and a statement I disagree with.
1)gcc is the GNU C compiler.  It's available for the Atari ST, and is compliant
with the draft ANSI standard.  There's also g++, the GNU C++ compiler, which
is not C, and if it's }iavailable for the ST, that's very recent.

2)I like Mark Williams C.  The non machine-specific parts are pretty K&R 
compliant.  The library is very UNIX-like.  The support people are great if
you phone (don't write--they answer in 3 months).  The compiler is said to be
derived from pcc.  The source and machine language debuggers work well.
