From: Doug <HUNEYCUTT@GUNTER-ADAM.ARPA> CI C86 is very (as in VERY) close to release of the honest-to- goodness, optimizing, 1Mbyte version of the C86 compiler. The new version goes directly to Microsoft OBJ format, rather than the current (Beta) method of going to .ASM and having to be assembled. I've been working with various Beta versions of C86 for about 3 months now. The big memory model does indeed address high memory. I've used it for directly modifying screen memory contents on my Z-100. For those of you 'waffling' about Lattice or CI, even if the two were equal the support offered by CI makes it the only logical choice. Lifeboat is about as helpful as Ashton-Tate! Doug
