Northwest Washington State | | Can anyone suggest a good C compiler for both or either Windows and Linux?
I normally program in 8502 ML using Merlin 128 for organization, but have quite a load of programs originally written in Basic 7 (C=128) which are being converted to the baCon programming environment under vsrious Linux installations.
BaCon converts the code to extremely concise C code. Never got the hang of C, so this is like a dream to me. It's actually teaching me how C works by examining the sub-routines after conversion.
Any comments would be very much appreciated.

South Australia | | To be honest i use an old old old version of Microsoft Visual C++ (6.0) to do all my app development but I use the latest SDKs and compiler tools.
As for linux i normally just use GCC and use bluefish as my editor.
On a few cross platform apps ive written I have used Ming compiler but i didnt find it very user friendly! |

Northwest Washington State | | Thanks for the advice.
I'm just now testing a linux offshoot called 'Tahrpup 6.0.2', a pretty new version. I think it might even have a dev system in it, but that's how new I am to it. I had two C compilers, one running under AmigaDOS, and one in C=128 mode, but as noted, I could not understand the open structure of C.
My main concern is input / output to a modem or network connection, and such things as carrier detect / carrier loss, etc. My first machine language routine was an interrupt service routine (ISR) which ran continuously, looking for a change in a certain pin of a primitive serial port. It may have only been 48 or so bytes long!
Thanks again.
