I appreciate the response I received from all of you regarding C compilers for the Macintosh. It was both informative and interesting. One further request, if I may? Is there anyone among you who would be willing to send me a copy of the Megamax compiler so that I may demo the package before I cough up the $300? If so, please send the disk to the following address: J. Froehlich 54 Trento St Rochester, NY 14606 It will be worth a little something extra in you Xmas stocking. Please send your Xmas list with the disk! Thanks in advance!!!

I hope that Megamax is on this net, and that their lawyers nail you to the wall. From what I have heard, the Megamax compiler is a very good one and furthermore it is not copy-protected. If it is pirated all over the place, though, they may decide that it is necessary to stop the pirates even at the cost of screwing the legitimate users. I don't want to see that happen. -- Thomas Newton Thomas.Newton@cmu-cs-spice.ARPA

The individual simply wishes to use a copy of the program BEFORE sending is (probably) HARD EARNED money to the authors (or whoever is selling it, as not all products are sold by authors). That doesn't sound like piracy to me. --Johnathan A. Tainter ^dagger^ this comment owes it's existance to the hard working manual writers at IBM and all do credit is hereby posted.

I havn't been on the net so somebody tell me what happened. I certainly hope someone responsible enough to not want Megamax to begin an anti-piracy copy protection system.
