========================================================

SAS/C(r) DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM, VERSION 6.0
Software Designed for AmigaDOS(tm)

Release date: September 15, 1992

SAS Institute, Inc. is pleased to announce version 6.0 of its
C compiler development system for AmigaDOS.

Version 6 of the SAS/C Development System was developed 
to provide users with a responsive, controllable C compiler 
designed for the Commodore Amiga.  The System presents 
options for customizing and increasing the speed of
programming activities. Recommended for novices as well 
as experienced programmers, the SAS/C Development System 
addresses the needs of all who program in the C language.

New features since version 5 include the following:

 * Online help for library functions, commands, and utilities
 * Memory-resident precompiled header files for faster compiles
 * Easy creation and debugging of shared libraries and devices
 * Global optimizer and peephole optimizer
 * #pragma tagcall statement for calling system routines
 * Message Browser
 * Customized Amiga-specific keywords
 * Workbench and shell interfaces
 * CodeProbe debugger
 * Amiga to Amiga cross development
 * Customization of the compiler interface
 * SCOPTS options-setting program
 * Fully integrated Workbench environment

Version 6.0 contains 1200 pages of all-new documentation, including
a quick reference guide, library reference manual, and a two-volume
user's guide.  Except for the quick reference guide, all documentation
is in three-ring binders which lie flat while you work.

Free technical support is available from the Institute's Technical 
Support Hotline, the Online Customer Support Facility, and on BIX and 
Usenet.

The SAS/C Development System works with any Amiga computer running
AmigaDOS version 1.2, 1.3, 2.0 or later.  The System requires 1MB of 
memory, but some features are only available with 2MB or more of system 
memory.  A hard disk is recommended, but the system will work with two 
880KB 3.5" diskette drives.
