From: hamachi%ucbrenoir@Berkeley (Gordon Hamachi) Some new sales literature just arrived from Softworks Ltd. concerning their C compiler. My impression from previous net news was that it was a dog, the worst of the available systems; however, here's what the literature said: -has become the best-selling Professional C Compiler available -fullest implementation of C available. Includes structs, unions, floating point, register variables, and bit fields -complete mac interface, implemented all ROM and OS calls -fastest executing: club mac has benchmarked it as the fastest executing development system available. -support: a professional staff of Mac compiler support personnel. Will someone who knows something about this please comment? In particular, what is the full story on this club mac benchmark?
