I am presently developing a product (a menu-driven data- base package, no graphics as of yet) for the Mac, but I desire the program to be transportable at the source level to, say, an IBM-PC, therefore I need a relatively strict C Compiler, but also need as much efficiency as I can get. Any suggestions? I'm curious about pricing. The MegaMax C I can get for about $180 mail-order, while Consulair C would run about $250. Is Consulair really worth another $70, or is it simply providing me with capabilities and looseness that will kill me when I try to port to a new system? In other words, $180 is a lot more attractive than $250 if it won't make much difference in compile time and efficiency of the produced object code. Other Compilers I've been considering: Hippo C Level II, Aztec C. Any others I should consider? Thanks for the help, Mark A.
