I'm sick and tired of you trying to crown yourself net.moderator for
this group.  Who are you to judge what is useful and what is not?
If Colas' article was useless, then so is your chastizing him for
posting it (you could've done that by email, eh?)

I didn't see anything inciteful about the post.  It was full of rather
accurate information, even if it wasn't to the liking of ST
cheerleaders like yourself.

I was under the impression that Turbo C was only available in Europe 
and that GCC is PD (no professional support)??
