Well, folks, I have good news and I have bad news.  The good news is that
LightspeedC on the Mac II is a wondrous sight to behold.  As a test, I
recompiled the Blob Manager (12,000+ lines of code).  Off of the
(somewhat slow) internal hard disk (Seagate 225N), it took 53 seconds.
Off of a RAMdisk created by Ramstart 1.3, it took 26 seconds.  That is
not a typo.  About 1 module per second.  The general speed of the machine
also has to be seen to be believed.  This is the machine I want on my
desk at home!

The bad news is that out of the set { MacTerminal, MacKermit, UW, Microphone },
only Microphone runs.  MacKermit bombs immediately, probably because of
SUMEX C's funky relocation scheme.  This is not a good sign.

More news as it happens....

PS.  Being able to set your own SysBeep() is great fun!.
