Summary: Greenhills C


I used to use Greenhills C on a MicroVAX II runing Ultrix for ST development.
I wrote some libc code that worked with the Atari GEMDOS/BIOS calls and
used the Greenhills 68000 cross compiler to produce modules and then I had
a program that could convert to Atari GEMDOS object/executable format.

The cross tools I used were a hack.  It was kind of a hassle and as soon as
got Micro C-Shell working on the ST, I started using the ST directly.

Today, I think it's easier to use Mark Williams C (with Micro C-Shell of
course :-)  on the ST directly, if you like a good Unix-like devlopment
environment.   For me, the advantages of a "real" Unix system did not
out weigh the problems of trasnferring and debugging on the ST.

But if you're interested, I could probably dig out the stuff I used to use.
