  Did they compare it against the Benchmark compiler?  We know where
TDI stands...

>BTW: What is the legal situation of XXX ???

  Both Oxxi and Avante Garde are selling Benchmark; Avante Garde has
just released version 1.0 (My Oxxi version is Beta).  Contact Oxxi or
Avante Garde for more details on legal issues.

  Is it true that the M2Amiga compiler does automatic type transfer
(as in C)?  Also, have you read volume 3 number 3 Amazing computing?
Benchmark is reviewed...
  Anyway, if it can be shown that M2Amiga or XXXXXXX is better than
Benchmark (Like a one pass C/C++ compiler), I won't hesitate to try
it...
  Better defined as: An overall increase in productivity-  fast
code-debug-run cycles, stability, no compiler bugs, fast run time
code, compact code; all these items summed and weighed.
