I feel compelled to point out here that the MKS toolkit includes a
C profiler that works with any compiler that creates MAP files (i.e.
uses the Microsoft linker), and requires no modifications to the 
source, makefile, or object file (i.e. you don't have to link in
a special .obj).  It does include a utility to add an MKS specific
symbol table to the .EXE file.

The only compiler I haved personally tested it with is the Ecosoft
C-88 compiler, but it is supposed to work with others as well.
