P.O.S.T. GALs

To get Windows to access the parallel port directly for the programmer I use UserPort [1], and use GALblast [2] to program the devices. I use WinCUPL [3] from Atmel to program them, but it's a horrible abomination masquerading as a developer tool. It's written in VisualBasic and frequently crashes. While I'm here, does anyone know of a half decent CUPL compiler or anything else that'll compile to JEDEC files? I'm thinking about learning VHDL or Verilog. I source my GALs from eBay (i.e. China). They're pulls from old boards and have about a 40% DOA rate, but my projects aren't mission critical so I don't really care. Given they aren't being manufactured any more I doubt there are other suppliers out there who sell them as cheaply. Cheers, Alexis K.
