In porting (or trying to port) software from the world to the ST I've run into
three major roadblocks.

	1) Operating system dependencies

	2) Variable names lengths >> 8 characters

	3) enum data type.

I have the original Megamax C and while I can deal with the first problem, the
second and third are a pain for any real programs (postscript interpretors,
smalltalk etc.)  Has the new version of Megamax addressed these problems?
Does any C compiler today offer the speed of Megamax with those problems
solved?

	Thanks
