	Look, Mike, you combine some very valid points with the
most idiotic comments, it is hard to understand whether you are
just in this to win, not to learn.
	WAKE UP MIKE! YOU CAN FTP GCC FROM AB20 FOR THE AMIGA! If
you feel that gcc is the ultimate in C compilers then go get it.
This is a religious issue so I won't tell you you're right/wrong.
If you want the best in C++ compilers, get Comeau C++.
