Dear Larry-Merci beaucoup! I am looking forward to the new toy. Next is this: Is there a PD C compiler? I notice that MS DOS folks can get into C for well under $100. While Lattice seems from what I hear to be an excellent company, the price of their C is a bit steep for someone who just wants to "play around" a bit before making a decision. I think I have decided that ultimately I will want at least a READING knowledge of C so I can get some use of the intermediate and advanced books about the Amiga that I see. Whether I would want to WRITE it is another question. Thanks again. // Jim PS I just found a book from MIT called "Little Lisper" which teaches Lisp using programmed instruction. Ed Silva may be interested in that.
