I tried two things on DICE as a test. The first was BYacc1.4. The compile produced invalid code for the passing of argv, assert was defined the wrong way around, and a few routines weren't available (mktemp, getenv,abort). While I realize that this is the beginnings of a great c compiler for the amiga, its not useable by me right now since I must fight with it to get proper code. The second test was A68k. With this one the compile died (error message with impossible line number) and since I didn't want to hunt down the reason I left it at that. Best of luck with what is truely a promising product but I for one won't pay for it until I can actually use it. (GOD I hope I'm not coming through too strong - I just wanted to explain some problems I've had and why I won't pay for DICE yet) Brad Pepers
