I used it for a couple of years. Only bug I remembered finding
was in getting the size of a union. But at least it had unions
and structs, and it compiled most pre-ansi style c. It produces
.asm code in rmac or m80 variety, and perhaps for an included
assembler also. Other disadvantages were caused by the operating
system. The 70k source file for the Dr. Dobbs C editor from 1982
took about 20 minutes on a floppy based system to compile and
link.
