Where might I find a comprehensive comparison between MS C 5.1 and Turbo C 2.0? I am beginning a large development effort on a PC and would like some information comparing the features and differences between these products. Many questions like a unix make facility, overlay facility for large programs, development environment capabilities for example editing compiling and testing and etc? You response is greatly appreciated. ======================================================================= Ron Colcernian Dynamic Results, Inc.

The February 1989 issue of _Computer Language_ has an extremely complete review of 11 DOS based C compilers. They include discussion not only on the compiler, but on all integrated tools, such as 'make' facilities, linkers, librarians, editors, debuggers, and miscellaneous utilities. The compilers reviewed are the following: (Vendor) (Product) (Version) Manx Aztec C 4.1 C Computer Innovations C86PLUS 1.20 D C Ware DeSmet DC88 3.1 Ecosoft Eco-C88 4.15 MetaWare High C 1.4 Lattice Lattice C 3.31 Microsoft Microsoft C with Quick C 5.1 Mix Power C 1.2 Borland Turbo C Professional - WATCOM WATCOM C with C Express C 6.5 Zortech Zortech C 1.06 Hope this helps, Mark -- Internet: markc@wpi.wpi.edu "This is drugs...
