Well, the MS-DOS version has been out for a few months now, and I've been
using it on all sorts of things.  The compiler handles ANSI prototypes,
ANSI preprocessor syntax, near&far pointer declarations.  Fixes some of the
more appalling bugs in v3.4, but it's still got a few that turned up in
trying to compile Icon.  (The source code for Icon seems to be entirely
too good at revealing compiler bugs :-().  Note that the compiler seems to
be ANSI-standard capable, but the library is definitely not.  The library's
essentially same as in v3.4, which makes porting some programs a pain.
  One nice thing about Aztec: upgrading to the current version cost only
$10, unlike a certain other C compiler vendor that was much discussed in
this newsgroup :-).
