It is not a rumor, it is absolute fact! I have seen the HiSoft adverts in ST World (UK magazine) and have seen the HiSoft packaging. Haven't seen the program yet :-) Cross my heart, hope to be flamed :-) The package contains completely new compiler, linker, optimiser, libraries, cli, environment (probably like Devpac), and it is claimed, produces faster code than Turbo C! (>2000 Dhrystones for Turbo's 1690). They are a UK company, but their stuff (WERCS etc) is distributed in the US by Michtron. HiSoft, The Old School, Greenfield, Bedford MK45 5DE ENGLAND The upgrade price is 59 pounds sterling, the new price is 99.95 pounds sterling. Phone them on 0525 718181 for more details.
