the Amiga, it is necessary to show a wide diversity of languages for it. Some languages are particularly suited to individual needs, by using 'C' in most examples, it seems you are giving our a biased impression. In many cases a new user who wishes to program the Amiga will be better suited with a language other than 'C' Dear Mr. Castonguay, I just wanted to respond to your "Amazing Computing" article on Fracrual Fundamentals. l have Absoft's compiler version 1.3. I compiled your AmigaBASIC listing, the run time was cut down to just under 2 hrs 33 mins. Below is a picture of my computer set up. Amiga 1000 w/2.5 meg. I do not have a math chip or 68020/68030 cpu. I would recommend anyone that is comfortable with AmigaBASIC and does not want to take the time to learn another language get Absoft's compiler. I am looking forward to your next article on fractuals, hope this information is of some use.
