Mike,

Any IIgs high level language with Toolbox support should be able to
use Marinetti as it is just an extension to the Toolbox (it is another
System tool set). It is the interface files that are required for each
high level language to provide the link between the language and the
actual tool set.

I recently created the Marinetti interface files for Complete Pascal,
so that is another language open to any budding Marinetti programmers.
This has already been included in the CVS repository by Andrew Roughan
- I don't think it has been included in any release as yet. I'm sure
Andrew will correct me if I'm wrong here.

As I noted above, the Marinetti CVS source tree has interface files
created for GSoft basic, so by using that in conjuction with the
Marinetti Programmers Guide, you should be able to at least make a
start. If you get stuck, I'm sure if you asked a question in
c.s.a2.programmer someone would be able to help you out.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mike
