There are a couple of things that were left out of the message: - It is only *one*pass*, that is, you can't have loose order of declaration and use. - You only get the Volition Systems Library, i.e. InOut, Conversions, Texts, and Files modules. - Sets up to 32K elements (yeah!!!!) - Function procedures may return results of *any*type. The prices are: (site licenses available) - $1500 for the compiler. - $340 for the symbolic debugger. - $340 for an editor Editor. We've been using the Sun compiler for about a year and have found it adequate for our needs. It runs with dbxtool and has a very nice interface to C, thus you don't have to put in-line machine language to get assembly language procedures or to get at Unix. They are coming out with a version 2.0, but we have yet to receive our Beta tape. I hear that it is a much improved version. Rob
