   Yes, Stony Brook has an exceptionally fast compiler.  This is in
their professional package, and part of their overall system.  They have
an optimizing compiler for production code, and a resident version called
QuickMod which runs like greased lightning for development.  The QuickMod
compiler is *not* cut down, by the way.  They develop their own compiler
in it and on a 386 they can compile and link a 15000 line source module
in 9 seconds.  Call it about 45 seconds on your XT.  For 15,000 lines,
linked and running, this ain't half bad.  Microsoft's Macro Assembler is
a good deal slower than that.  I think it's the faster compiler, of any
make or language, that money can buy.
   You can reach Stony Brook at 805-496-5837.
