| I'm taking a poll which may be of interest to users of Mark Williams C.
| I have MWC but I am amazed at the compile times of Laser C.  Is there anybody

| stick with MWC and hope for speed improveming upgrades or invest some hard earned money
| in Laser C ??!!   (I currently have MWC 3.0.6 and CSD) 
| 
| The criteria is not only speed but the general programming envrionment of each package.
| 
| Please let me know what you think.

Don't forget to look at the size of the compiled code! Last comparison I
saw, MWC has it all over Laser C in this arena. Small code size costs
compilation time, in general.
