yep this was the main problem, amiga developpers had to make something better
so thay created a better compiler, remember Lattice C ? :-)
later there came SAS C, i now have both of them, Lattice C is not compatibel
with anything SAS C does, diffrent amiga.lib :/
the most powerfull in Lattice is diskloaded subprograms a future in blink that
imho newer got implemented in slink :/
remember PPage with used this for have all into one single amiga program to
make less use of ram :-)

yes i have ToolMaker a ide for all known c compiler to make gui for amiga in a
fast standard way whit could make arexx in into the gui without thinking how to
from the programmers point of view, locale was olso one of the things it could
help with, but i needed more info about locale to use it :(
the developper support was not good at that time so i belive most developpers
gave up when commodore did more work on the pc end :/
the pc end was the most expendsive part commodore did, amiga DID give money !
only thing i have left from that time is my commodore developper number ETD022
Regards Benny
... there can only be one way of life, and it works :)
