> [lots of wide eyed drivel about Borland's New Turbo C]

Whoa!  What's great about Turbo C?
    It's made by Borland and it cost's $99.
What's not so great about it?
  It's not shipping yet (April 1, if we are 'lucky')
  You must order before July 1 to get the $99 price
  It only will run on "IBM PC, XT, AT, or true compatibles"

ALTERNATIVE:

Why don't you take a look at the Datalight C compiler?
This $99 / $139 package includes:
    library source code,
    .obj, exe, and com program generation,
    Full Unix System 5 language plus ANSI extentions
    Global DATA FLOW optimization including 12 optimization parameters!
    DOS Wildcard support
    Compatable with Lattice C version 2.x
    Interrupt handling IN C
    ROMable code + Startup source,
    Mouse support,
	etc

If I was spending ~$100, guess what I'd buy?
