Hi Transputerers,

We are working with the 3L Parallel C-Compiler, and we are rather
satiesfied with this product. Now we have one little problem in porting
a program to transputers, wich makes extensive use of short (16 Bit)
integer arrays (byte-swapping and bit-manipulation). The 3L
Compiler supports only 32 Bit shorts. It will be very much work
changing the code to avoid this effect.

So here my question:
Has anyone experience or knowledge of transputer C-compilers with
16 Bit Integer Dataformat ???

Thanks and Regards,
