I have just received the C compiler Abacus Software is marketing for Data Becker. It has a decent (but somewhate strange) screen editor, linker, and compiler that allows one to generate executable code that can be called from Basic or from the C system. It is supposed to be Kernighan and Richie compatible. From the documentation it would appear that this is true. The documentation is excellent and the compiler seems to be fast. I will be running some benchmarks and will advise of my findings in the near future. One drawback (maybe) is that the system does not generate assembly source nor does it directly link to assembler programs. This is no big deal and I believe can be gotten around. If anyone is interested in any specifics please let me know and I will try to help.
