Roughly in order of importance, I am looking for
a C compiler which has:  reasonably full C subset,
assembler output, good diagnostics and documentation,
efficient code, #define function (will take more
preprocessor functions) and decent support.  Nice
but not necessary are 8087 support, I/O redirection,
good subroutine package and editor.

After reading the August '83 issue of BYTE, it
looks like the De Smet compiler offered by C-Ware
is my best bet.  However, I missed articles if
any in this newsgroup which mentioned De Smet.
Has anyone used this on a Compaq?  Also, any
comments on Venix, which was not covered in the
BYTE article?

Please reply by mail.  Will summarize to the net.
Thanks.
