Hi,

   First of all, I am sorry if this subject has come up millions
of times before, and if you think your reply wont have general
interest, feel free to e-mail me :-)

   A couple of years ago a friend of mine showed me a C compiler
called MIX C. He was very impressed by it, especially the debugger,
since it only cost some twenty dollars. Yesterday I saw an add
from MIX in BYTE, and remembering my friends enthusiasm for the
product, I consider buying it for my personal use. The question
is, is it really any good ? The add gave the impression of a two
year old product since all review quotes were from '88 and no
version number were given. Hasn't the program been developing for
more than two years ? Other points of interest :
 
     Is it ANSI standard or at least a full K&R ?

     How does the code execution speed and executable size
     compare with other C compilers ?
      
     My friend said it was rather slow when compiling, is this
     true ?
      
     Is the debugger really that good ??

     Has it got graphics rutines in the library ?

I hope someone has got some answer to me :-), so
 
    Cheers,
