   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
