I know this has probably been an issue discussed here before in the past, but I can't remember if the product in question had been evaluated. The compiler I'm seeking for more information and feedback is the Power-C package by MIX Software, Richardson, Texas. Their literature claims substantial improvements in speed and efficiency over MSC and Turbo-C. The benchmarks indicate more than just slight advancements over these two standards in the PC C compiler industry. Their library is also claimed to be a superset of the MSC and Turbo libraries. Smaller executables - and at a price of only about $55.00 including libraries and debugger - seems too good to be true. Documentation is also seems very impressive. Can anyone share their knowledge and wisdom of this package? Can/is it recommended for serious development purposes? Any other comments? Compatibility and portability? Please e-mail replies, I'll summarize and post it to the net if there's enough interest. Thanx in advance. ----- David M.
