Thank you in advance! >______________________________________________ >Lee Chen Vancouver, BC, Canada >__________________________________________________________ The main advantance is that 2.5 is fully compatible to C PDS 6.0 the professional Compiler. I do have both of them. Write and evaluate the programs quickly in Quick and get a resonably code from PDS, espeacially interesting to get assembler source and / or better optimization. I really enjoy Quick C with Quick assembler. But for real applications You do need The MASM 5.1 (6.0) with PDS C. greetings, Kai. Kai Voelcker kai@tpki.toppoint.de 2300 Kiel ...!unido!tpki!kai
