I have been testing Version 3.08 of the Datalight Optimum-C compiler
by attempting to recompile the MicroEMACS V30 sources.  The results
have not been good.  The compiler crashed or produced internal
error messages on more than half of the source files compiled.

I have to agree with Mark on his assessment of the Datalight compiler.
It's buggy.  In addition, I had a horrible time with their customer service,
which I actually rate much worse than the compiler itself.

All of which contributes to the fact that I am now a happy Turbo C user....
