- IMHO too I have never had much luck with Atari software developers.
- About three years ago when Prospero 'C' came out it seemed like the
- answer to my problems - a decent 'C' compiler with source level
- debugging for the Atari! But alas it was not to be, it had several
- nasty bugs. I wrote to them a couple of times, even sent examples
- of the bugs but nothing. So I threw that compiler away... The moral
- seems to be unless you're a big customer you're on your own. If anyone's
- found something to the contrary, I'd love to hear it! :-)
