I have taken the posted source and recompiled it under the Manx Aztec C compiler. Take a look at the results: Lattice C version 260,544 Aztec C version 179,440 (31% smaller / loads in 2/3 the time) The Aztec C version also appears to be faster (generating levels, game play, etc). I say 'appears' as it sometimes crashes after the 'I' (inventory) command is given. I believe that this is due to transmission errors that occurred when the source was posted. I am going to the horses mouth (John A Toebes are you out there?) to get the original source and re-compile it. I'll let everyone know as soon as I get a non-crashing version. John Toebes, please call me if your out there or mail me a return path to you. Regards, David Berezowski (daveb@cbmvax)
