Recently, this went over the net:
-} - In the current version, and with a bit faster Amiga (e.g. 020 and up), SAS
-}   C is currently the better choice (Hi Ralph!) if you need a high quality C 
-}   Compiler. Of course, you pay for it (are you a student ? They give 50%    
-}   rebate [I think]!) Using my A3000/25, the compiler runs quite fast, though
-}   I wouldn't want to use it on my A1000... (never tried it yet).

I'm especially interested in the 50 % rebate idea.  IS there any kind of 
discount given to students by SAS for thier C compiler?  I've been hemming and
hawing about getting SAS for a while now, but I keep managing to convince 
myself to wait longer.  If I could get such a nice discount, it would 
help immensely. 

Thanks in advance for all replies, which should, BTW, be via EMAIL, since I'm
going to be at home till after christmas and won't be able to read the 
comp.sys.amiga groups till then.  Thanks!
