Subject: COMAL vs. Simon's Basic
Newsgroups: net.micro.cbm
  I just received a flyer on COMAL for the C64.  It appears to be a great
replacement for C64 Basic but is it that much better than Simon's
Basic?  The disk version of COMAL (ver 0.14) at $19.95 leaves 10K
of memory available for programming.  The ver. 2.0 cartridge which is due
out this summer from Commodore will provide 30K available memory but will
cost "under $100" (read $99.99?).
  Any comments out there in net land on the pros and cons of each?
Any comparisons between the two.
  Please post any responses as I'm sure others are interested.
