German AMIGA PLUS 9/96 rated StormC 1.1: 94 % !!! "varied possibilities for compiler optimisations, efficient linker and debugger, consistent GUI design, flexible runtime shell and project manager" "... has its nose in front of the others." (German phrase ;-)) |
A 'thunderbolt' for the traditional C-compiler Conclusion We are very enthusiastic about StormC. The program is very clear and tidy. The integrated developing environment is easy to use, with a little practice even for 'rookies'. StormC offers the professional user powerful, flexible and future-proof possibilities. Despite the rather high price we expect that StormC will be a 'big thing' in the near future. Furthermore, Haage & Partner is already working on a PowerPC-edition of the program. It might take a few months, but this development can only lead to the very first 'native' C-compiler for the Amiga. And when you're the first, you're way ahead of others. So what about the current edition. Well, how many people do you know that own a PowerPC Amiga? Exactly. Even though StormWIZARD is causing some crashes, we were charmed by the program. Considering that it is a demo-version, we actually have only one complaint: it uses too much memory. Haage & Partner have just announced that there will be a combined package (with both StormC and StormWIZARD) available soon. When that happens, we are able to compile and 'dress' a program almost in one session. Amiga Magazine 7/96 (Dutch edition) Amiga.magazine@mrose.nl |
