It now supports 32 bit pointers (i.e. 1M addressing) and is very compatible with UNIX compilers. It also is compatible with the MS-DOS linker. Technical support from the company is excelent. Lattice is more expensive and I understand that it is less compatible with UNIX. DeSmet is the cheapest of the bunch. It has a MUCH smaller library and I hear it has several bugs. I would recommend C86 for production type work and DeSmet for home computing. By the way, I use the IBM PC version of C86 on my Zenith Z100 with no problems. There are some IBM PC dependent subroutines in the library (graphics stuff), but these are easy to modify since full source is included. -- Kenton Lee, Bell Labs - WB wb3g!kfl or hoxna!kfl
