From: Charles <MCGREW@RU-BLUE.ARPA> Hello, We're implementing a multi-user distributed adventure game here and want to find a C with UNIX IO (as close to Berkely's as possible would be nice). We're soliciting for comments and suggestions on the C compilers available. We are talking mostly about small machines, as in 6502, Z80 or (gag me with advertising hype) 8088, but comments about C that runs on non-unix 68000s would be appreciated. It should be a complete C through to enumeration types. We need to watch two ports at once (keyboard and communications), so some kind of non-blocking IO or interrupt support would be a must. Needed features: fseek non-blocked IO (as in NO_DELAY in ioctl), or better, IO interrupt signals as on Berkely. Desired features: enumeration types reasonably fast code (always a help, eh?) Please send recommendations and comments to MCGREW@RU-BLUE. Thanks, Charles -------
