mislead was perhaps a bad choice of words. it's just that i can't see anyone
having the total omniscience to say that "this is bad" (and imply "don't use
it", kinda like the amiga/atari wars...). i agree that alcyon has problems.
so does MWC. the bottom line is find something that works for you and use it.
for me, at this point in time, alcyon is it. next year, probably MPW :^).

casual programmers will buy one compiler and live with it. people doing this
for a living will try them all (or as many as they can) and pick the optimal
for them (features, speed, size, etc).

no folowups, please...this particular issue is dead (not compilers, just
THIS issue).

adios
