Arthur Brown had acquired a big pile of Michtron sw, including CBREEZE, and was selling it cheap. (I actually prefer the speed of MicroEMACS and a full, clear screen.) The basenote asked about C compilers for learning. I think anybody who wants to learn C and doesn't pick up Sozobon AND the free source code to the libraries (dLibs) is missing a golden bet. I've learned more from Dale Schumacher's code (and from Dale himself) than I've ever learned from a book. And as for commercial support ... don't place too much value on that. They're not going to teach you how to code on the phone. If you have questions, try comp.sys.atari.st.tech. And post code samples! ---- Steve Yelvington, Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, USA / steve@thelake.mn.org
