From: ateam%ucbamber.CC@Berkeley In response to the message by Paul Smethers...... I have been reviewing 5 different C compiler: Hippo, Megamax, Softworks, Aztec, and Consulair... Two I would reccomend looking into further, Aztec and Consulair, I haven't used either long enough or extensively enough to say which is better. The Aztec runs under a UNIX-like shell while Consulair is Mac-like. Both have good documentation and seem to copile to good code. All Consulair asks for a licensing fee is that you mention somewhere in your application that it was created using their compiler. I don't know what Aztec wants. Once again, I haven't used any of these extensively, just written a few simple application to throw some windows on the screen, create some menus, keep track of mouse down events, etc.....but just from this it is easy to see which compilers are good and which are not...hence my suggestions. (I'd spend more time with them if my professors would figure out that there's more to life than homework....) I hope this will at least narrow your search, Fred A. Huxh
