The development team responsible for the programming tools (compiler, debugger, editor etc) is now part of a new company, MultiScope Inc, where Logitech has a significant part of the shares. MultiScope Inc 905 Middlefield Rd Palo Alto, CA 95401 phone: (415) 323-4286 fax: (415) 323-4186 In Europe the main distributor is: Terra Datentechnik Bahnhofstr. 33 CH-8703 ERLENBACH Switzerland phone: +41 1 910 3555 fax: +41 1 910 1992 The latest revision is 3.40, with good offers on upgrades from previous versions. To me the best things about Logitech compared to other are: Large and comprehensive libraries and a very good set of tools (editor, debuggers, make etc). The compiler system is also very easily configured. It makes it particularly simple to organise code in different directories. Of course most of this is important only to people working on larger projects. In the race of who can compile "Erathostenes' Sieve" fastest and to fewest bytes this is not so important.
