Seplowitz) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: RE:C for the 128 Message-ID: Date: 29 Sep 90 20:24:19 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 22 There was a message posted here about Super C and Power C. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate Power C via mail order companies. If you know of where it can be located please post a message. I also, unfortunately, own Super C 128. I cannot recommend that program because it fails in many ways from being a real compiler. The other person was correct, Super C 128 cannot create code that runs indenpendent of the supplied shell (rendering it worthless). However, the C64 version can (a complete contradiction). I have spoken with some people at Abacus and written a few letters, one just recently. However, so far I haven't had any luck in having them modify their compiler. My suggestion is to avoid any Abacus products for any computer. While the people are nice and willing to help answer questions, the company's products aren't worth the money. If you are really interested in programming in C for the 128 try CP/M mode. There are numerous compilers available, although I'm not familiar enough with this area to provide reliable information. Maybe someone can provide more information?
