I need a little advice. I recently decided to learn C programming, and picked up a Sams book called Teach Yourself C In 21 Days (right…). What I need now is a good compiler… I plan on using CED from ASDG for the editor. PD or commercial… whatever anyone feels might be best for a neophyte in C. I do seriously plan on mastering C and going on to C++ as quickly as I can. Thanks in advance. Frank

>neophyte in C. I do seriously plan on mastering C and going on to C++ as >quickly as I can. Thanks in advance. SAS/C 6.5. It is well-established, well-supported, has C and C++. See my review in AmigaWorld two months ago. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com

Frank, If you're just dabling to find out if you like C, then DICE (DICE.LZH in the AmigaTech lib) is a good Shareware compiler, however as Dale says, SAS is the best… Kevin 68030/40 A1200… Flying AutoPilot from Surrey in the UK

Has anyone here heard about the commercial version of DICE being released? Joe

Yes, there's an announcement about it elsewhere in this forum. Ask John Toebes [70007,3467] about it. He's one of the guys behind DICE.

.#: 40802 S5/C Programming 01-May-94 00:17:55 .Sb: DICE is now commercial I figure a bit of good news is appropriate at this time of Commodore change. Exciting news for anyone interested in programming the Amiga computer at any level — beginner through expert! For years DICE has been a respected name in the Amiga programming community. Now some of the biggest names in Amiga programming have combined talents to make DICE even better. The new DICE is fast, cheap, easy and fun. DICE has always been a good C language compiler. Now the DICE compiler is part of an integrated "system" of programming tools designed to ease and speed creating programs for the Amiga. If you are a beginner DICE offers an intuitive visual approach to creating programs — and numerous examples to get you started. Programmers of all levels will appreciate how DICE seamlessly integrates with your favorite text editor, offering tools and information at the touch of a button. The new DICE focuses on _productivity_. Not just a buzzword, the DICE system focuses on getting code from keyboard to execution as quickly as possible. We give you a quick development cycle and fast compile time so you can try new things quickly. We bring all help online so you don't waste time flipping through the manual. The new DICE includes: o Complete 450 page manual, including a section on avoiding the most common programming pitfalls. o Full, fast, online help. o A complete visual compile environment (that, incidentally is fully configurable to provide a visual environment for any program). o All the updates, fixes and enhancements you'd expect to the original. o A simple source line debugger – the most asked for features in an easy to use package. o A Compression system for use on floppy disk systems. o Full source code for the libraries and dozens of examples. o A package of "bonus" tools to help find bugs in your code. DICE is brought to you by some of the biggest names in Amiga programming; we know the Amiga inside and out. We call ourselves "Obvious Implementations Corporation", and our founding members are Matt Dillon (well known shareware author), John Toebes (Director of the Software Distillery), Bryce Nesbitt (Enforcer and longtime system software Guru for Commodore-Amiga), Andy Finkel (Amiga Shell, Amiga MicroEmacs and also longtime head of software development for Commodore-Amiga) and many well known friends.

Really? That's amazing. Where can I find out more information? 🙂 🙂 :-). If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
