Greetings.  I keep getting reports that the C86 compiler is superior
to Lattice.  If anybody can provide the answers to a few questions
about C86, I'd sure appreciate it.  

The Questions:

1) How much does the beastie cost?
2) Does it support the full MSDOS 2.0 directory structure for
   filename access (that is, the Unix-style pathnames)?
3) Do they have any restriction/royalty requirements for
   selling code compiled/linked via their software?
4) Does anybody have any useful tales regarding use of the C86
   compiler?  Comparisons with Lattice, in particular, would
   be useful.

Thanks much, all.
