(Does this count? Are these major products? :-)) THINK C (formerly Lightspeed C) produces 32-bit clean code, but is not itself 32-bit clean. I have been told that a System 7 studly version is forthcoming, but I think we all know the dangers of vaporware. This article may not be entirely appropriate for this group, but my thinking was thus: I will regret not having posted this if, a week from now, someone writes an article in which he or she states that one of the two main compilers for the mac is incapable of producing code which runs under A/UX or 32-bit mode. After all, the only reason to talk about macs in this group is to avoid stupid flame wars in which the mac users don't know what the amiga is about and vice versa. Armed with sufficient information, we can get into stupid flame wars in which both sides are basically well informed. -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu <<-- after all, this is the information age.
