Well, I used to try to work with this Super-C compiler. I found it very
frustrating, as of all the C I knew it did not seem to like anything. I had a
saved program which did not work as it should have, and when I moved it to
Power-C, it started to do exactly what I meant it to. Anyway, Power-C gives
you a shell environment, and the ability to have OBJect files, for your
personal functions library, while this is much more difficult than with
Super-C. 
  My strong suggestion: get Power-C!!! unless you do not intend to program.
