Chicago - Computation Center Lines: 20 I, too, would recommend the Aztec C compiler, but with one reservation: it generates sub-optimal (ahem) code. In fact, one might consider its code generation downright lousy. (Note: my version was released over a year ago. They have come out with a new release that's supposed to be a considerable improvement). On the other hand, it's highly K & R compatible, produces reasonable error messages, comes with a decent librarian, and is easy to work with. I've heard good things about Ecosoft C, too. An attractive option with that compiler is that they have a version out that they distribute with the SLR Systems Assembler/Linker, which has an outstanding reputation. -- Melinda Shore, Microcomputer Laboratory University of Chicago Computation Center uucp: ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!shor Mailnet: staff.melinda@UChicago.Mailnet Bitnet: shor%sphinx@uchicago.bitnet ARPA: staff.melinda%UChicago.Mailnet@mit-multics.arpa
