I understand that MicroSoft announced an IBM-DOS C compiler. Anyone have an information about this? Questions: - Is this the old Lattice C? - Does it do 20 bit addressing in the text space? - Does it do 20 bit addressing in the data space? - Does it support floating point? - Does it have a debugging mode? - Is it a version 7 standard C compiler? Thanks, schoff at bbnu

" ==!== " I am considering switching from Lattice C to the "new" Microsoft C compiler. Does anybody have any experience doing this? What's the general consensus on Microsoft C? Is this a worthwhile thing to do, or just a waste of time+$? Send replies directly to me, if sufficient interest, I'll post a summary.

if anyone finds this at a discount at a reputable source, i would appreciate hearing for you. thanx. stev [reprinted from InformationWEEK, pg 10, without permission.] Microsoft Releases Enhanced Compiler Last week, Microsoft Corp. released a new version of its C compiler. Version 4.0 features improved optimization and a debugger that, to the user, looks like the company's Windows program. With this version, Microsoft increases the compilers execution speed by eliminating common subexpressions. The compiler's code emitter has also been improved. Codeview, the programm's source-level debugger, allows users to watch as source or object code is debugged by opening windows as needed. A spokesman for the company points out that with Codeview, "the programmer can also see the contents of registers and flags in the CPU and watch the values of expressions and variables as they change." The program has a suggested retail price of $450. Registered owners of the previous version of the C compiler can recieve the new version for $150.

HELP. I am writing code gor a stand alone system using the Microsoft assmbler, C compiler and linker. I need to get at the linker variables "end" and "edata". If I compile a program to run on the PC there is no problem. When I compile it for stand alone the linker complains about unresolved externals (_end and _edata). Customer Support and they couldn't help. They weren't even willing to research the problem and get back to me on it. Can anyone offer any insight into this problem. Thanks in advance, - Joel {sdcrdcf,psuvax1}!burdvax!coltoff
