Summary: Unix Logo on comp.sources


Now, if one of you demon C porters is looking for a next big project,
Rich Salz is busy publishing the PD source for Unix Logo over in
comp.sources.

I still think it would be a great sales draw for the Amiga.  I taught
my daughter to program in Apple Logo at age 4.  A language that easy
to use is going to attract a lot of attention from folks that BASIC
turned off in droves.  The flashy Spirograph (tm) type programs so
easy to do in Logo, combined with the speed and great graphics of the
Amiga, would make it a showroom winner.

Best of all, you could set people down, and have them actually writing
code for themselves, in a 20 minute sales pitch.  Sure cure for computer
anxiety!

Comments?  (Is anyone in Commodore sales reading all these great ad and
promotion ideas, or are they all headed for the bit bucket?  We're all
out here trying to help, CBM!  Tell us someone's listening!)

Kent.

I code SDI in C.
I add an integer to an enumeration; the compiler doesn't notice.
All die.
Oh, the embarrassment!
