My problem with the C's that run native on the Amiga is their compile time. Even with 1 MByte (everything in memory) it is too time consuming to develop in native C. The assembler is reasonably fast (if you use your own versions of the include files). If you don't link with amiga.lib, the linker isn't that slow either (you can avoid linking with amiga.lib without violating the system software rules… use the fd files). -Carl-
