I called Manx two months ago about their C compiler and they told me they were still working on it. Does this mean two months more?

Now that Abacus have announced their C compiler for the 64 I wake up a bit. However, since it is expensive ($80 plus postage), especially for us over in the old continent (remember the $ is so high that it looks like part of the satellite defence system!), I want to know what I would get. Questions, therefore: 1. Is it a true compiler, or simply (as many Pascal "compilers") a translator from some intermediate object? 2. Are there any practical restrictions (e.g. using the limited 64 stack)? 3. Any benchmarks, e.g. for sieve of Erastosthenes? 4. Any competitor products? I would be happy to see answers via net.micro.cbm (plus, of course, answers to the questions that I should have asked but didn't). Mike Gerard, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

Does anyone have benchmarks for any C compilers? Things of intrest to me are: 1 Speed of compiled program 2 Available documentation 3 Ease of use (error messages, edditor commands) 4 Completeness of library functions These benchmarks should be of general intrest so you can post them to the net.
