	The connect ansi font that comes with Connect is great under gdos. I even
use it in Gemini now. However, a similar sized font for medium ST rez would
be nice. The connect ansi font is bigger that the 9 point system font there,
and thus not very useful. How about a colour version, Wollfgang. ;-)

Your last two addresses were correct.  For instance, if you wanted to
try to contact me on GEnie, you would address it to me as

friends need to pay an extra $10 or so to receive Internet mail.  That's
probably why your messages bounce back.  I don't subscribe to it.  I

	But yopu've completely missed the point here. Pure C is _not_ a
Borland product anymore. They sold the rights to Application Systems
Heidelberg, and except for a few header files, there is no longer any
reference to Borland  or Turbo C anywhere in the product. Thus, Borland
is not in any way obligated to support the product or inform their 
employees about anything. 
	Personally, I'd be more likely to guess that ASH doesn't have
any interest in translating the manuals and help files anyway, given
that the with the current market in English speaking countries, it is
unlikely that they'd break even on the cost of translation, and printing
manuals. It would be nice if they could translate the online help system
though, and as someone has stated it's incompatable with Borland's PC
help file  format, it's unlikely Borland would have much clain on it.
Also, as 80% of the info in the help system is from Atari's
documentation, I can't  see how the original writers could claim anyting
but a compilation  copywrite.

The document "GCC for the Atari ST" by Frank Ridderbusch (available somewhere
in the Gnustuff/Tos dir of a.a)  has the following information...


Don't use a "." for .l, .w, .b size modifiers.  Just omit it.

Below are some examples illustrating all the diferences in EA syntax.

 MOTOROLA	MIT (GAS)		C meaning
 --------	---------		---------
 #1000		#1000			1000
 d0		d0			d0
 a0		a0			a0
 (a0)		a0@			*(a0)
 (a0)+		a0@+			*(a0++)
 -(a0)		a0@-			*(--a0)
 1000(a0)	a0@(1000)		*(a0+1000)
 100(a0,d0.w)	a0@(100,d0:w)		*(a0+100+d0)
 (a0,d0.w)	a0@(d0:w)		*(a0+d0)
 ????		a0@(100,d0:w:4)		*(a0+100+d0*4)         (68030 only)
 ????		a0@(100)@(200,d0:w:4)	*(*(a0+100)+200+d0*4)  (68030 only)

 1000		1000:w			*(1000)


Literal values are as in C.  Eg. $ff00 becomes 0xff00

"|" or "#" masrks comments (but use "|", to avoid confusing preprocessor).

"local labels" can be used:

	...
	bra	d5,0f			| Branch FORWARDS ('f') to 0
0:					| A local label (single digit)
	...
	dbra	d5,0b			| Branch BACKWARDS ('b') to 0


Pseudos...

	=		As per Motorola "equ"
	.text		Switch to TEXT segment
	.data		Switch to DATA segment
	.bss		Switch to BSS segment
	.abort
	.align 5	Align to 2^5 byte boundary
	.ascii "foo"	String data
	.asciz "foo"	'\0' terminated
	.byte 1,2,3	Byte data
	.globl ID1,ID2,...	Give ID1, ID2, ... external scope
	.int 1,2,3	Integer (4-byte) data
	.short 1,2,3	Short (2-byte) data
	.space 5,3	Same as .byte 3,3,3,3,3


For more details, grab the document from atari.archive.umich.edu.  It should
be called "gcc.doc", or some such.

Hi all,

following the recent discussion about TeXDraw, I received the sources 
from the author Jens Pirnay, who declared them public domain.

The sources are in Modula-II (from Maxon, I believe).

As has been pointed out, there should be ideally one person taking 
over responsibility or at least one coordinator for new developments, 
which, I hope, will take place.

It's up to you gurus to take it over.

The stuff is available through

    atari.archive.umich.edu  in /pub/atari/New
    ftp.tu-clausthal.de      in /pub/atari/incoming
    ftp.uni-paderborn.de            - " -

as td187src.txt and td187src.lzh. The sysops are notified and will 
place it accordingly.
 
If you are seriously interested, contact the author via email by
  <jens.pirnay@rphs1.physik.uni-regensburg.de>

Enjoy,
      Thomas.

Just buy yourself a 13-pin to scart monitorcable made for the atari.
Contact your nearest dealer. I am using a Philips tv/monitor with my Atari
it works fine. I paid NOK 250,- which is about 25 pounds.

Well, in the October Atari Advantage it says (in the editorial section, I
think), that the F040 is to be unveiled in November (yes, next month), but
Atari is trying to keep a lid on it until then, trying to sell the F030.

    According to information I read on GEnie when STart went under, the
copyright should indeed return to you, unless there is someone who has
purchased the rights from STart. As STart went under owing a lot of authors,
I don't beleive you'd find anyone willing to step forward and claim ownership
of their copyrights, as that would imply they also accepted responsibility 
for the obligations. Do you have a contract? I'd think there'd be some kind
of clause covering just that somewhere in there.

    Of course, I'm not a lawyer, and don't play one on the net ( when I can 
help it ), so if you're really worried, why don't you ask someone in law at
Harvard? I'd imagine someone in the law program there could give a more 
authoritive opinion.

   Something else to keep in mind is the style of C written. C
programmers who aren't familiar with the assembly code of the target
machine are more likely to need a good optimiser than those who do.
   If you want an example, try writing a function in Pure C, then  trace
the function through in the debugger in assembly. If you know assembly,
you can easily see how the compliler interpreted what you wanted it to
do. If it generates clunky code, a little experimentation will show you
what methods generate better code. Of course, this is against modern
computer science thinking, which says that programmers shouldn't have to
worry about this, because there are optimisers now.
   However, this means the programmer now must rely on the compiler
vendors to write good optimisers, and except for GNU C, micro computer
compilers rarely have well written optimisers.
   Personally, I use Pure C now, as I have better uses for the 4 megs in
my computer than giving it all to the compiler, but if someone ever
comes out with a cheap upgrade memory board, I'd go to GNU in a minute.
Also, as I'm still learning C, the Pure debugger is a major asset in
it's favor.

Jeez, I always thought TurboC 2.0 was BY FAR the best C-compiler ever
designed. Are you very sure about these figures? I read a review on
C-compilers for the ST (a long time ago) which compared Lattice, Turbo
C (version 1 back then, I believe), Mark Williams and Laser C (maybe
one other too) and Turbo won it by far: Fastest code, shortest code,
fastest compilation. 

To think I was already in the process of buying me a copy of PureC...
I reckon I'd better check out GCC, huh?

Still think there's something wrong with these figures, though. Are
you sure you didn't forget some optimization switch or something?

Help:

   I have a 520STfm and an RGB Thompson monitor collecting dust.  Could
anyone make me an offer to take one or both off my hands.  PLEASE!


                             Thanks,
