Gary is right, the EGS stuff is written entirely in Cluster! Perhaps GVP will distribute Cluster in the states if there are enough interested persons. Some interesting details I have forgotten to say: – Cluster is one of the first development systems with an integrated Tetris! – The integrated editor has the ability to "chroma code" the keywords, so they are displayed bold. One line comments "|" are displayed in a different color – compiles 30000 lines/min on an A3000 (single pass) – the release version of Cluster has no debugger, but a CLI tracer, which is a simplier form of a debugger System requirements: OS 2.0, 1MB free memory, more recommended, two disk drives, HD recommended The demo version: You can compile and run the programs you write but there is no linker. You get only some of the modules and a sample program (a start of a space game) written entirely in Cluster. The sources are distributed with the release version. If I get the permission to upload the demo version (I think during this week), should I ask the sysop first or can I upload it right away? Should I put the demo files in one archive or is it better to separate the demo into different parts (editor, samples, modules)?
