The very first issue of Amiga World (or perhaps the >second) interviewed Allen. Also, the first book on Amiga programming, by >Que, carried a description of Amiga TLC Logo. The only C= Logo I have had any experience with is that produced for the C64. It was pretty good for it's time. This version was written by Leigh Klotz, Jr. Also involved were Andy Finkel of C= and a number of people from Terrapin. It's also interesting to note that the MIT 6502 version was developed by Leigh Klotz Jr. et al under the supervision of Prof. Harold Abelson of SICP fame. There's no mention of John Allen being involved with the above project, so he must have only come in on the Amiga/PC side of things. Regards, David Benn -- D.Benn@appcomp.utas.edu.au - David Benn.
