   I'm sick and tired of reading the incessant heckling of the ST in 
your posts, Chris.  After your continual slamming of the atari, you
decide to post a message declaiming those who provide the inverse
service to this newsgroup.  You've essentially crowned yourself head.flamer
for c.s.a.s..  (And why should anyone use email, with your sterling 
examples to guide them?)

   I wouldn't know about Turbo C, but GCC for the Atari ST is officially
sanctioned by the Free Software Foundation, which is as much as it gets 
for any machine on which it runs.  The faculty at CWRU seem to consider this
enough, as GCC is the compiler used on the majority of the workstations I've
seen (or used) at the school.
