(Please bear with me, as my terminal cannot 
include quotes.)
Someone writes about C compilers, the Abacus Super C and the Power C.

As far as I can tell, those are the only two compilers presently available
but there might also be a PD version out there somewhere.

Abacus' Super C is from Data Becker, in Dusseldorf, West Germany. Abacus is
merely an agent selling Data Becker software in North America.

I have Super C and I'm not too happy with it. It is difficult to understand
the manual and I've been unable to copy the allegedly un-copy-protected files
to a 'use' or work disk.(I had to buy a backup copy for ten dollars.) This 
product is definitely NOT for novices.

Is the 'Super Pascal Compiler' actually an interpreter?!? I've seen the package
but haven't bought it yet. IF it is an interpreter, I won't.
