.REPRINTED FROM INPUT, BOX 1710,.STONY P
LAIN, ALBERTA, T0E 2G0,.CANADA, THROUGH
COURTESY OF THE.GAINESVILLE, FL USER'S G
ROUP...PRO-LINE SOFTWARE, IN MY OPINION,
TENDS.TO MARKET ONLY AVERAGE SOFTWARE,
SO, .WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT THEIR
C .COMPILER, I WAS A BIT RELUCTANT TO .R
EVIEW IT. TO MY SURPRISE, I FOUND .THAT
THE C COPILER WAS A MASSIVE JUMP.AHEAD,
AND IT CONVINCED ME TO CHANGE.MY MIND A
BOUT PRO-LINE...TO START, I THINK THAT I
SHOULD MENTION.WHAT THEY GIVE YOU FOR Y
OUR MONEY:..* ONE DISK CONTAINING THE E
DITOR, . COMPILER LINKER AND ALL THE .
LIBRARIES THAT THE STANDARD R&K C .
CONTAINS...* A 531 PAGE TUTORIAL MANUA
L . EXPLAINING HOW TO PROGRAM IN C AND
. GOING INTO IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE.
PROGRAM LIBRARIES AVAILABLE...* TWO
SMALL PAMPHLETS EXPLAINING THE . EDITO
R AND THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS. PARTICU
LAR VERSION OF C...* ALL FOR THE WONDER
FULLY LOW PRICE OF. $127. CANADIAN ($9
9. AMERICAN)...THE MANUAL IS FANTASTIC.
ALTHOUGH PRO-.LINE WAS NOT THE PUBLISHE
R (HOWARD W. .SAMS & CO., INC. OF INDIAN
APOLIS IS THE.ACTUAL PUBLISHER), PRO-LI
NE AT LEAST .TOOK THE INITIATIVE OF LOOK
ING FOR A .GOOD TUTORIAL THAT WOULD BEST
SUIT THE.NEEDS OF THIS PACKAGE. THE TU
TORIAL IS.LIGHT READING, WITH SOME COMED
Y (SOMET-.IMES CORNY), AND IT THOROUGHLY
TEACHES .YOU ABOUT THE C LANGUAGE...SOM
E VETERANS OF THE COMPUTER TRADE .LIKE M
E MIGHT FIND THE MANUAL A BIT .IMMATURE
AND SOME OF THE MATERIAL MORE .OR LESS O
LD HAT. THE BOOK IS NEVER-.THELESS AN A
DDITION FOR ANYBODY'S .LIBRARY...THE OTH
ER DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED BY.PRO-LINE
. IN A SINGLE WORD, IT'S ."SCANT." IT
TENDS TO BE INCOMPLETE AND.AMBIGUOUS AND
NOT ALWAYS CLEAR HOW .CERTAIN OPERATION
S WORK. COMPARED TO.OTHER DOCUMENTATION
I'VE SEEN FOR .COMPILERS, IT IS MORE TH
AN ADEQUATE. .AT LEAST, IT ISN'T BLATAN
TLY WRONG OR .FULL OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRO
RS. IF YOU .USE A BIT OF IMAGINATION, Y
OU SHOULD .BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MOST OF
WHAT IT .IS TRYING TO SAY...THE ONLY OT
HER DRAWBACK REGARDING THE .PRO-LINE DOC
UMENTATION IS THAT IT IS .MISSING AN ERR
OR MESSAGE CHART. THIS .IS NOT MUCH OF
A PROBLEM FOR MOST .PEOPLE IF THEY ARE U
SED TO THE C-64 .ERROR MESSAGES. ONE CA
N QUICKLY ADAPT .TO THE NEW SET OF ERROR
MESSAGES AND .MAKE SENSE OUT OF THEM.
BUT IT IS .THESE SMALL PICKY DETAILS THA
T COUNT .WHEN EVALUATING A PACKAGE...THE
COMPILER, SO FAR, IS EXCELLENT! I .FOU
ND NO MAJOR BUGS AS IT WAS .COMPILING, A
ND IT SEEMS TO COMPILE MOST.C CODE THAT
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO THROW .AT IT...THE O
NLY MINOR BUG I HAVE FOUND WITH .THE COM
PILER IS THAT WHEN IT PRODUCES .AN ERROR
MESSAGE AS IT IS COMPILING, .THE ERROR
MESSAGES ARE NOT ALWAYS ON .THE LINE THA
T CONTAINS THE ERROR. .AFTER DISCOVERIN
G THIS AND PROCEEDING .TO COMPILE MORE C
PROGRAMS WITH ERRORS,.I SOON LEARNED HO
W TO FIND THE .SYNTACTICAL BUGS QUICKLY
ENOUGH THAT IT.DID NOT BOTHER ME TOO MUC
H...ONE THING ABOUT THE PACKAGE I LIKE I
S .THAT WHEN YOU BOOT IT UP, IT PUTS YOU
.IN A UNIX-LIKE SHELL. WHAT'S A UNIX-.
LIKE SHELL, YOU ASK? AS A LAYMAN WOULD.
PUT IT, A SHELL IS BASICALLY THE .WORKIN
G ENVIRONMENT THE COMPUTER PUTS .YOU IN
WHEN YOU BOOT THE SYSTEM. THE .COMMODOR
E, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, DOES HAVE.A SHELL,
BUT IT IS NOT SO OBVIOUS. THE.SHELL CO
NTAINS ANY COMMANDS LIKE LIST,.RUN, SAVE
, LOAD, "$",8, ETC...A UNIX SHELL IS MOR
E OR LESS THE SAME.THING, BUT IT GIVES Y
OU A FEW MORE .POPULAR UNIX COMMANDS: PR
TO PRINT A .FILE OFF THE DISK TO SCREEN
, LS TO LIST.THE DIRECTORY, ETC...TO MOS
T OF US, THIS IS NOT REALLY .SIGNIFICANT
, BUT TO PEOPLE WHO WORK ON.VAX SYSTEMS
OR EVEN MULTICS, THESE .COMMANDS BECOME
VERY FAMILIAR. PLEASE .NOTE THAT NOT AL
L COMMANDS ARE .AVAILABLE -- ONLY A FEW
OF THE MORE .POPULAR ONES...ONE OTHER TH
ING THAT IS KIND OF NICE .ABOUT THE SHEL
L PROVIDED IS THAT ANY OF.THE C PROGRAMS
THAT YOU WRITE CAN BE .COMPILED ONE OF
TWO WAYS: AS AN .EXECUTABLE FILE, WHERE
YOU SIMPLE TYPE.THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM
WITHOUT TYPING .RUN, OR AS A FILE THAT B
ASIC CAN LOAD .AND RUN...FINALLY, LA PIE
CE DE RESISTANCE, THE .EDITOR. THIS IS
ONE PART OF THE PACK-.AGE THAT I FEEL IS
A VALID BONUS...THE EDITOR IS A FULL-SC
REEN EDITOR MUCH.LIKE THE ONES THAT CAN
BE FOUND ON WORD.PROCESSORS LIKE PAPERCL
IP, WITH A FEW .FEATURES THAT MAKE IT CO
NVENIENT TO .WORK WITH IN C...FIRST, IT
HAS THE STANDARD FEATURES .THAT ALL EDIT
ORS HAVE AS A RULE:.. * FULL CURSOR MO
VEMENT. * SCROLL UP AND DOWN. * PAGE
UP AND DOWN. * GOTO END AND BEGINNING
OF BUFFER. * SEARCH UP AND DOWN. *
CUT AND PASTE SECTIONS..ALSO, IT HAS A C
OMMAND ENTRY LINE THAT .GIVES YOU A FEW
COMMANDS FOR THINGS .LIKE DISK DIRECTORI
ES, SAVING AND .LOADING FILES, PRINTING
CONTENTS OF .THE BUFFER TO THE PRINTER,
ETC. BUT .WHAT MAKES THIS EDITOR REALLY
A CHARM .IS THE FOLLOWING:.. * SUPPOR
TS CHARACTERS THAT ARE USED . BY C T
HAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE. COMMOD
ORE, E.G., UNDERSCORE, CURLY. BRACKE
TS, TILDE, PIPES, ETC.. * HORIZONAL SC
ROLLING UP TO 240 . COLUMNS. THAT M
EANS THAT, IF YOU . TYPE PAST THE 40
TH COLUMN, IT WILL. SCROLL EVERYTHIN
G TO THE LEFT. . (A NICE FEATURE IF
, LIKE ME, YOU. ARE PICKY ABOUT HOW
YOUR PROGRAM. LOOKS ON THE SCREEN.).
* MULTIPLE WORK BUFFERS.(FANTASTIC!).
THIS MEANS THAT YOU CAN WORK ON .
MANY PROBLEMS AT THE SAME TIME, BY.
LOADING IN A PROGRAM INTO . DIFFE
RENT BUFFERS AND GOING TO THE. BUFFE
R YOU DESIRE.. * ANOTHER EDITOR CALLED
CED THAT . WILL CHECK FOR SYNTAX ER
RORS IN . YOUR C SOURCE CODE. ..ANO
THER THING THAT I DECIDED TO TEST .BEFOR
E I GAVE IT THE OKAY STAMP WAS TO .SEE H
OW WELL IT WORKS WITH THE FASTLOAD.CARTR
IDGE. WELL, TO PUT IT SIMPLY, IT .WORKS
AND IT DOESN'T...IT IS BY FAR AN ADVANT
AGE TO HAVE THE .CARTRIDGE BECAUSE IT DO
ES COMPILE AND .LINK PHENOMENALLY MORE Q
UICKLY, BUT .THERE IS ONE BUG. AFTER CO
MPILING A .PROGRAM AND STARTING TO LINK
THE .PROGRAMS (A NECESSARY EVIL), THE LI
NKER.DOES NOT ALWAYS LOAD PROPERLY, AND
THE.COMPUTER AND THE DISK DRIVE HANG UP.
..YOU GET USED TO DOING THIS BY TURNING
.OFF THE COMPUTER, REBOOTING THE PACKAGE
.(SEVEN SECONDS, TOPS) AND THEN LINKING.
.(GROAN!!! C'EST LA VIE.) ANOTHER WAY.
I JUST DISCOVERED TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM.I
S TO DO A DISK DIRECTORY (E.G., LS) .FIR
ST, THEN LINK. THIS CLEANS UP THE .PROB
LEM, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT VERY .CONVENIENT
. ..WELL, TO GIVE IT AN OVERALL RATING,
I .WOULD GIVE IT AN 8.5 OUT OF 10. THI
S .MAY BE A BIT MODEST AND SOME WOULD GI
VE.A HIGHER RATING, BUT AFTER WEIGHING T
HE.PROS AND CONS, I FIND IT IS AN EXCEL-
.LENT PACKAGE (WITH A FEW MINOR FLAWS).T
HAT DESERVES TO BE IN ANYONE'S SOFT-.WAR
