Now that the free compilers GCC and Sozobon have been out for a while,
and are being used by thousands of satisfied customers, I have been
wondering why I have never seen either one mentioned in an ST oriented
magazine here in the US.  Perhaps the editors don't use C.  Perhaps they
already have free copies of the commercial compilers and don't feel any
desire to try a PD compiler.  Perhaps no one is really using GCC or Sozobon
and I am misled (in which case there's no reason to keep improving them :-)).

Anyway, if anyone has ever seen a review or even a mention of GCC or Sozobon
in a magazine, either in the US or anywhere else in the wide world,
please send me a short mail message.  A summary of what was said
would be nice too.
