i have (finally) decided to start using gcc on the ST and am putting
Alcyon aside. too many #ifdef ALCYON's in my code, i guess...

however, i would like to know just how good GEM/line A support is with
that compilation system. i know the libraries (gemfast, et al.) exist,
but i don't remember seeing mention of their relative quality compared
to (say) Alcyon's bindings. can someone drop me a line with some
general recommendations regarding GEM programming (AES, VDI) with gcc?
do GEM applications port easily to gcc? obviously unix-oriented shell
applications do...

what is making me switch? MiNT (thanx, eric) and MGR and another 60 MB
HD for my mega4 :-)...
