Alcyon C works quite well. It certainly is no speed deamon, nor does it produce the best code in the world, but it certainly produces CORRECT code, without any arbitrary limitations, which is certainly more than what i can say for the other two. Agreed the library had some erors, but fixes for most of these problems have been provided by many individuals here. In more than 90% of the cases i have come across, where people have been bitching about the compiler its been a case of "operator error". -- usenet: {decvax|cbatt|cbosgd}!cwruecmp!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@case arpa: bammi%case@csnet-relay compuServe: 71515,155
