I'm going to be coauthoring a book this summer about graphics and C 
on the ST and Amiga -- introducing C through graphics and moving on
to an introduction to device-independent code for 3d graphics.  I've
ordered the Developer's Kit for my 1040, but I'd like to be able to
discuss and/or recommend other compilers too.

I know that DRI, Lattice, MegaMax, Habba, and Manx all have compilers
either released or in beta test.  Are there any others that anyone
out there has heard of?  Is it possible to get Greenhills for the
Atari (as opposed to downloading your object code from a Sun or some
such)?  What is "GST", which I have heard mentioned once or twice?

Once I get my hands on these compilers, I'll run some fairly comprehensive
benchmarks (starting with Dhrystone 1.1) and post the results.  Let
me know of any other ST compilers, or any good/bad experiences with
the ones above, and I'll be very grateful.  Thanks!

I couldn't fail not to agree that anything other than that which isn't the
failure of his absence to leave couldn't do otherwise than make me happy.
