Development on the TT is not as nice as you might imagine.  I assume
Atari would sell you Mark Williams, which is dreadful on the TT
(shell bombs and glitches, debugger doesn't work, hard drive thrashes
 so much it isn't much faster than a 1040).  With another compiler,
it might be O.K.  As the most enthusiastic mentions I've heard say
Lattice (from the U.K.) is the current best.  Does anyone know how
to actually BUY it?  Preferably at below full "retail" price?
