Hi comp.sys.amiga,

	I've just jumped the comp.sys.ibm.pc ship after getting totally sick
of it's graphix.  (What Graphix would that be ;-) )  Anyway, I wrote a
game for the pc called Astrotit that will be my first port to the Amiga
and seeing I just got a 500, I don't know shit about where to start.

	1st, What is a good c-compiler for the Amiga.  I only have the 1
	floppy at present and want one that works off 1 floppy rather well.

	2, Which is a good graphix editor?  My system on the pc was to use
	an editor, draw the cells of the animation sequence, capture the screen,
	come in with a cell grabber that would generate c-code for each cell and
	link it in to the program.  Is there an easier way to do this on the
	Amiga?

	3, I want to get a digitizer but don't know what this entails.  I've
	seen adds for digi-pic which I gather you attach between a camera and
	your amiga, but am lost from there on.  What equipment do I need,
	where can I get it and what are approximate costs?

	4, I'll have more questions as I run into walls!  Thanx in advance
	for any and all help.
