In hopes of finding some silverlining in the clouds of MPW, how does the
speed and size of gcc (the MPW ported version) compare with Think and
MPW C? I know that gcc doesn't produce debugger code and that it is slower
yet at compilation than MPW C. I would just like to be able to produce
fast, small code out of my finished source code with little or no changes.
Is this possible? Does gcc work under System 7.0? Does it use MPW C's
headers? If not, how do you get access to System 7.0 features (I'm assuming
that it works w/ System 7.0)?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
