	According to PC Week, Zortech has announced a C++ compiler
	for $99. Note this is a compiler, not a preprocessor like
	Guidelines and some others that require MS C to do the actual
	compilation. Anyone ever heard of this company ? The price
	sounds REAL GOOD to me. Maybe they're planning to do with C++
	what Borland did with Turbo-Pascal.

	Also, how about POWER C from MIX software ? $19.95 for the compiler
	$19.95 for the debugger, and, get this, $10 for the library (450
	functions) source. Again sounds too good to be true. They claim
	to beat Turbo-C and MS C in the standard benchmarks.

	Anyone have experience with either of these products ?
