I have been having many problems with Aztec C.  I would like
to know if anybody else has or knows of these problems.

The main problem is that I get "Out of memory" error on many
different error.  For example, I get "Out of memory" if the 
compiler tries to compile '2.right = 3' ??????? What kind of
error is this.  

I cannot compile things anymore which contain floating point
constants or float/double pointer arithmetic.  The following
do not compile, and give an "Out of memory" error.

    num = *(i++)      # where i is a double pointer and 'num'
                        is a double

    num = 1.0         # this woulde never compile on my Mac SE

It's to the point where I CANNOT COMPILE MY PROGRAMS!!!,  and
this happens with version 1.06G, 1.06H, and 1.06I !!!!! HELP!!

If anybody knows anything about this (including MANX itself), 
please yell.  I've paid a lot of money to half to throw my
Aztec C compiler away and buy a different brand, and I'm
tired of trying to come up with kludges.
