In the spirit that Commercial vendors aren't supposed to post ad's for
themselves BUT users can post hardy recommendations (and I haven't gotten
my commission check yet :-), here's an "Ad" for Turbo-C that people might
be interested in:

From the folks @ Gribnif:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borland's Turbo C 2.0 for the Atari ST
--------------------------------------

    For those who don't know, Borland Germany has released a special
  version of their Turbo C compiler for the Atari ST.  The entire
  compiler and its error messages are in English, with the on-line
  help and documentation in German.  Currently there are no plans for
  a version with English documentation (though we keep asking).

    Some of the features of the package include:

    o Full K & R implementation with ANSI extensions.
    o Integrated GEM based editing and compiling environment.
    o Handles both Borland and DRI object file formats.
    o Libraries for TOS, GEM, Line A, and Borland Graphics Interface
      functions.
    o Project manager for efficient compilation of multiple sources.
    o 68881/2 math co-processor libraries.
    o Window based source level debugger which allows for stepping,
      break pointing, logging, and much more. (Package 2 only)
    o Integrated Lint and Make.
    o Robust macro assembler which can generate 68000 through 68030
      compatible code with full co-processor support.
    o Turbo fast compiling which generates very tight code.

    When in Germany at the Atari Fair in Dusseldorf we worked out an
  agreement with Borland Germany.  Under this agreement we would be
  able to order copies direct from them for programmers in the U.S.
  and Canada.

    Two different packages are available:

Package1:   $160.00

  Turbo C 2.0
    Compiler
    Linker
    Editor

[At this time, I think only Package2 is available... Joe]

Package2:   $275.00

  Turbo C 2.0
    Compiler
    Linker
    Editor
  Turbo Assembler
  Turbo Debugger

    To order, send a check or money order (drawn on a U.S. bank) for
  the correct amount along with $5 for shipping and handling to:
