- SAS/C++ seems useable provided you don't need templates or exceptions.
- I don't know anything about Cameau (sp?) C++, so I can't say whether
- it's useable or not. As for GCC's usefulness, I suspect the errors
- you've given indicate a lack of resources on your machine to run it
- (unless it was your code - have you tried the code on other compilers
- or gcc on other machines?), which says it's not useable on *your*
- Amiga, as opposed to "the" Amiga.

- On Aminet:
-
- ALSt304.lzh dev/lang 380K 73+Amiga Little Smalltalk version 3.04
- SmallTalk.lha dev/lang 227K 428+Port of the Little Smalltalk system.
- smalltlk.lha dev/lang 362K 18+Amiga Little Smalltalk version 3.09
-
- I seem to recall a text-only SmallTalk80 from years ago, but I don't
- know where it is (it might have been a generic Unix program). None of
- these have very many custom classes, however, which limits their
- current usefulness for application design.

-
- I haven't used it for a long time, but it has a few neat features -
- exception handling, built-in lists, and I believe now
- object-orientation. It also produces very tight code, however was
- essentially type-free, in that the language didn't try very hard to
- stop you from accidentally putting values of the wrong type into
- variables (one of the main points of having types). It may have changed
- since then, I don't know. (Of course, neither does Smalltalk...)
