Re: compile time on Mac vs. Unix The Mac comes out OK if you get a Hyperdrive. Re: BYTE review of Mac C compilers The Byte review of Mac C compilers sucked. Both Megamax ( which I use, and can recommend ), and Consulair have had new releases since the review was written. Don't trust any review that does not include Desmet C, because it was probably written long enough ago to be useless now. Re: Megamax shorts and ANSI standard Megamax says that their compiler will be updated to meet the ANSI standard when it is finished, so I would guess that shorts will get longer. So what should one buy? The best answer is that Aztec, Consulair, and Megamax are all agreed to be the best three. The decision as to which of these to buy depends on which bells and whistles you want, and how much you want to pay for them.
