According to a Dutch SR Magazine, Borland has sold the rights to Turbo ST back
to the original developers of Turbo C : Applications Systems Heidelberg in 
Germany (also I believe the makers of Signum!)

I know that in the Netherlands Pure C is available through a importer of ASH:
Jotka Computing B.V., for a price of Hfl. 489,- (1 Dollar is approx. 1.6 Dollar)

This is just what I read......

Something like that but slightly more distinguished (Bordeau red) could make a
very `desirable' machine out of the 040, somewhat like the Indigo. Maybe we
should have it in different shades of grey (the colours of a Falcon).

>(Unless of course, they'd put it in an Iris Indigo-case. Now THAT's a

But just a box, basically. The Falcon 040 should have a nice front panel. Maybe
something in the shape of a falcon with its wings spread, like this:

       ---\       /---
       \   \head /   /
       \    \---/    /
       |\           /|
       | \_________/ |  
       |    |   |    |


Sorry for the rediculous drawing. Anyway, just like with the Indigo, one has to
open a `door' on the front panel (that is, the door is the falcon logo) to
access the disk drive. (Well maybe the logo should be smaller than I've drawn
it but then the machine would look at bit much like the Indigo which we don't
want.

I've seen a lot of discussion about the new desktop. Saw it in action at the
Glendale Fair. It's a definite improvement, but I can't list all the things
that have changed. For one, you can assign keyboard equivalents for any menu
entry, that was something I really wanted.

The DSP doesn't have direct access to ST memory (heck, it can only address
192K by itself anyway) so bitblitting is out of the question. A DSP is not
a general-purpose processor, so it would be unreasonable to expect it to
perform general processing tasks. There are no operating-system functions
that I can think of that would benefit from a DSP, so I would expect that
only specific applications will use it.

The articles I've read say TOS 4.0 in ROM, with the MiNT/MultiTOS added on
from disk. Apparently the main difference between Atari's mint.prg and the
one we have access to is that Atari's has multitasking AES functions.

Subject: What kind of monitor is BEST with a Falcon?
Reply-To: no email
Organization: Bell-Northern Research Ltd.
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 21:25:21 GMT

I have a question for anyone who has a Falcon.  (I realize that this is a 
fairly small subset of c.s.a.st readers - the developers)

What is the way to go as far as a monitor is concerned?  I have been reading
about overscan, flicker, true-colour, etc.   But what I want to know is, what
is the best way to go?  

I can get an SC1224/SC1435 fairly cheaply.  This I can use directly with my 
ST until Falcon-time.  I can get a regular VGA monitor, which is also cheap.
Or, I can get a SVGA multisync, and use it with any conceivable setup in the 
future.   Would it be worth the extra money?  
(I currently use an SM124, and a TV for games and such.  The TV
isn't really good enough, even on the ST.  But it's free.)

Is there any difference between the SC1224 and the SC1435?  (as far as the 
Falcon goes)   

An unrelated point - There have been a lot of posting to the effect that 
'Gee, I hope the Falcon040 has a 96000 DSP'.  I assume that these people think
these are binary compatible, or that they think Atari is MORE stupid than they
seem.  Why would a non-suicidal company build in incompatibility like that?
Now, maybe more 56000 RAM.  That would be cool, and transparent to all but the 
OS.  SIMMS, too.  There is NO WAY Atari can put out memory cheaper than SIMMS
can be bought for.  What was the justification for this?

Another unrelated question - Does anyone know of any killer flight simulators
under development for the Falcon?  Alternately, what ST-flight sims RUN on 
the new bird?  (i.e. Can I use Falcon on the Falcon?)  What other software 
runs?  Are developers allowed to talk about this yet?

Yeah, would be nice, I suppose, could make debuggers more useful. Another
possible benefit would be to support process migration over a network. I
had forgotten about this possibility before, but with a bunch of STs sharing
a SCSI bus it wouldn't be bad.

Working on it. Requires more hacks to the compiler and linker. I think this
will be of limited usefulness as long as people are using many different
compiler systems. But, I suppose if everyone standardizes on the MiNT library,
the choice of compiler becomes less important. Right now I'm concerned that
multiple libraries are required, i.e., you need both a 16-bit int and 32-bit
int version of nearly everything, which sort of reduces the memory savings
derived from using shared libraries in the first place. I have most of the
compiler issues resolved already, the linker is another question, and I
haven't written the dynamic loader yet. Whether that should be intrinsic to
the MiNT kernel, or just a separately loaded TSR is an open question. Also,
using shared libraries instead of static bindings imposes a slight performance
penalty - calls into the library must be done indirectly, and library code
must reference global data indirectly.

I don't understand how swapping would make G++ more usable. Paging, perhaps,
but that really requires an MMU, which means 68020 minimum. With the current
shared text support, all that's needed is the addition of a sticky bit and
program load times will drop a fair amount, assuming you have sufficient RAM.
With less than 4M, sticky text wouldn't help you much.

I guess that discussion has already occurred, eh?

Well, the only reason I hate the function keys is because 9 times out of 10
I 'd hit two at the same time. I don't know if its just down to my manual
dexterity (or the lack of), or the diagonal orientation throwing off my
coordination or the lack of space between the keys or the fact that they're
completely flush with the casing or ............... maybe I just have a mental
block against diagonal keys!!

 I'm wondering if someone on CompuServe can send a file to an InterNet
address? Anybody know? 

 The file would likely be a uuencoding of a binary; if a file _can_ be
sent, would there be restrictions on the file size? Thanks in advance for
any info.
