What are the merits of Matt Dillon's DICE over the  current  ver-
sion  of  GNU  C  for AmigaDOS?  I know about the memory require-
ments, but I want to know from a programmers point of view  which
is  better.  The majority of my experience with C programming has
been under Unix and VMS.  I've used GNU C  running  on  our  Suns
here,  and it seems quite good.  How does the Amiga port compare?
How does DICE compare to GNU C on (Suns or Amigas) ?   Also,  are
there  any plans to port gdb to the Amiga?  I'm used to using dbx
or gdb under Unix, and I miss that sort of thing  when  I'm  pro-
gramming  on  my  Amiga.   I'd  really  prefer to go the route of
shareware or something like GNU C,  but  if  SAS/C  is  really  a
better choice, I'll go with it.  Just let me know you opinions on
each option.  Sorry if this seems a little jumbled, the  cat  de-
cided that last night was not the time for me to sleep. Thanks in
advance.
