Is datalight a viable #challenger to turbo c or microsoft 5.0? Is it any good period? o Microsoft did not respond to the challenge. They purchased a copy of Datalight C. Draw your own conclusions. o Datalight is a viable challenger. We wouldn't have run the ad if we would have lost the challenge. MSC 5.0 is not available yet, so we don't know about that. o We think it's pretty good. We just don't have a .5M dollar advertising budget. You can call Datalight at 1-800-221-6630 or 1-206-367-1803 if you have specific questions. The Datalight bulletin board is 1-206-821-2123. Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Datalight, other than the fact that I wrote the compiler and receive money from sales of it.
