Seplowitz) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: RE: Abacus Message-ID: Date: 23 Oct 90 16:58:12 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 25 A few weeks back, I posted a message about Super C for the 128 and specifically my disappointment with the compiler (please stress the word specifically). Prior to that posting I sent a letter to the President of Abacus expressing my dissatisfaction with Super C 128 and requesting information on memory and file management. Recently I received a response to that letter from the marketing director. He generously offered to refund my purchase despite the fact that I owned it for a year. Since I haven't used the compiler in months and I still had the original receipt, I decided to take him up on his offer. Instead of a refund I requested two books (C128 Internals and Compiler Design and Compiler Design and Implementation). Just yesterday (only a week after I returned Super C 128) I received the two books. Although I haven't had much time completely look through them, they do seem like excellent books (the compilers book could be better--this is only an opinion). While I still applaud Abacus's Customer Service and Support, I only wish in the future they can take the time to keep their programs up to date.
