GSTC Compiler

[tjb]

Anybody know anything about this compiler or where I might find a copy for sale? It's supposed to simplify GEM, AES, and VDI programming. I ran across an ad for it in the Antic Catalog this evening.

Never heard of "GSTC Compiler", but perhaps you meant GST 'C' Compiler? If so that one is pretty old, well what isn't in Atari land? Anyway, one that is less old is PureC. Seems to be fairly popular. Find it at:

It's listed as GTSC FWIW. They also list GST-ASM. I had never heard of them either (before seeing the ad). Thanks for the link BTW.

I have the manual for the thing but lost the software many many moons ago

Cool! Do you have any experience with it? Was it a good product?

 

Thanks,

I have the manual and the disk, but unfortunately the disk appears mostly corrupt

UPDATE: The disk has three bad tracks. I have the manual and case however.

I had that once, the manual listed all the GEM functions but didn't really tell you how to use them or what they even did. Having the Atari Compendium on hand would have made things easier...

I'll leave this here in case anyone's interested

Though if anyone does have GST C I'd be grateful for a copy!

UPDATE: TJB: I have the disk working now, unfortunately I can't get my PC to read it (ST reads it fine: it must be an early TOS 1 floppy).
