[net.micro.pc] Microsoft C is Lattice C

peterr@utcsrgv.UUCP (Peter Rowley) (09/27/83)

I've seen the (rather large) documentation for the Microsoft C Compiler at
a local computer store.  It is indeed the Lattice Compiler, with the addition
of the MS-DOS librarian and, I believe, the MS-DOS linker.  It also seems to
be discounted more than the Lifeboat Assoc. version.  Both list for US$500
but I've seen the Microsoft version for as low as US$360 mail-order in the
US, Cdn$500 in Canada.  The Canadian list price is a scandalous Cdn$730,
which is ridiculous considering the lack of duty or FST on imported software.

P.S. I have not used the compiler, but understand that it is a solid product.
