	I have been using and am VERY happy with the new optimizing
compiler from Computer Innovations.  I have to write code at work on
a Zenith Z-100 under Dos 2.0 for a Cable TV head end unit, and CI86
produces tight, fast code.  The latest version has an optimizing pass
that produces code about 30% smaller and 20-50% faster than Lattice
C.  It supports the 8087 and gives the complete source to the library.
I have two PC's at home, one with VENIX, and I bring the code home from
work, transfer it to VENIX and run lint and the other tools on it.  I have
had no incompatibilities between CI86 and the VENIX C compiler.  I have
Lattice c, Aztec C, Mark Williams C (DOS and Coherent), and other than
absolutely LOVING to program under VENIX, CI86 is the only other compiler
I use.
