     I purchased Abacus C today, then immediately returned it. It is not
compatible with 1541 Flash. I suspect that it is not compatible with non-1541s
too. I'm not gonna use a disk-intensive program like a compiler if the Flash
won't work. Looks like I'm going to write a letter to Abacus about this.
 
      I didn't have the package long enough to form an opinion about it; but
instead of Pro-line's quasi-shell, the main functions are controlled through
a menu (ick.) Also, the docs were printed single-sided, and far too many pages
were crammed into a small binder. The best thing about Abacus C seems to be
that it is much less expensive than Pro-line C, and Pro-line C is not readily
available locally.
