I've seen some stupid remarks in START magazine quite regularely. For
example lately it was stated that Turbo C's new object format was no
improvement because 'noone needs external references of 32 characters'
as opposed to the 8 characters digital research's object format has.
I guess these people have no idea what they talk about, and
have never tried to port a source that consists of more than one file
to the ST.

About RTX: I don't have the C-shell, but the RTX kernel is very nice
and about the best multi tasking possible on a machine like the ST.
Minix with it's shadowing is too heavy for the ST.
