 Following is the text of an advertisement for Hippo C received in the
mail today.   Does anyone have any experience with this software?


    Hippo-C Level 1 is a full C compiler which compiles and executes directly
 on a standard 128k single-drive Macintosh.  Compiler follows the K & R
 C-language definition, and is UNIX 7 compatible. Level 1 does not support
 floating point.

   A small C program (100 lines) typically compiles in about 8 seconds without
 disk swapping.  Execution speed is fast - the C line
         for(i=0,i<100000,i++);
 executes in less than 3 seconds.

    Level 1 allows approx. 64K for user program and data. You can also chain C
 progs together to effectively create and run a very large prog. Included in 
 the Hippo-C Level 1 package is compiler, editor, run-time library, on-line
 tutorial/manual, debugger, shell-command processor, sample programs and
 documentation.

    Hippo-C Level 1 retails for $149.95 plus $10 shipping.(VISA, MC, etc. call
 408-730-2601)

    Hippo-C Level 2 is an optimizing 68000 native-code compiler with all
 features of Level 1 plus macro assembler, linker, full floating point support,
 and additional utility routines.  Available October for $399.95.
 An upgrade kit for $250 will upgrade Level 1 to Level 2 - available shortly
 after Level 2 release.

    No licensing fees or royalties on codes generated with Hippo-C, just mention
 that Hippo-C was used to create your software.
