To add to your chart: Laser C 512K okay; no ~$120US yes more better Laser C is a very quick compiler, and generates pretty good code, although I don't think it's quite as compact as MWC. A pretty good integrated environment (graphical shell) is included, as are RCS, make, and other Unix-style utilities. Documentation is generally good. -- Andy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Gray andy@jarthur.claremont.edu Platt Campus Center andy@jarthur.UUCP Harvey Mudd College ...uunet!jarthur!andy Claremont, CA 91711 agray@HMCVAX.BITNET
