A > couple of postings have mentioned a May ship date. True/False? The biggest draw-back in my mind is that the compiler only produces small model code. I think they're taking this "small is beautiful" hype a bit too far. :-) It almost borders on false advertising. How much of that "vast world of UNIX software available" will compile in a small model? Don't even think about anything starting with 'G'. The package comes with "Lex and Yacc, a complete C compiler and a full set of nearly 200 UNIX commands." Oh, yes, it also comes with experience, support and guarantees. The ad I saw is on page 110 of the April Byte. $99.95, 60-day money back guarantee, 1-800-MARK WMS or 1-800-627-5967 or 1-708-689-2300. Intro price is good through July 31, 1990. If anyone finds out any good news about better compiler support, please post. > Rob Springall springal@hsi.com Stephen Coy uw-beaver!ssc-vax!coy um, what he said.
