Does anyone know where one can get the C-power compiler? And is the C-power a comercial/shareware/public software? And how much does it cost if it is a comercial software? Thanks in advance, Scott

If by 'C-Power' you meant 'Power C,' then it's a commercial title. It's in the 'Better Working' series released by Spinnaker. I own a copy, and am very happy with it, even though it doesn't fully support the new ANSI standard. I seem to recall only paying about $20.00 for it. Spinnaker is exemplary in publishing software at realistic prices as a hedge against piracy, instead of glitzy copy-protections schemes (which don't work) and attendant higher prices. Buy it, and the 'Power Assembler' in the same series, and give this outstanding company it's well-deserved business. Peace -Mark-

Does anyone have any experience with this C compiler? How good of a compiler is it and how well is its documentation? Does it fully support the ANSI standard better than "Power C"? Any comments will be appreciated, Scott.

Well, I used to try to work with this Super-C compiler. I found it very frustrating, as of all the C I knew it did not seem to like anything. I had a saved program which did not work as it should have, and when I moved it to Power-C, it started to do exactly what I meant it to. Anyway, Power-C gives you a shell environment, and the ability to have OBJect files, for your personal functions library, while this is much more difficult than with Super-C. My strong suggestion: get Power-C!!! unless you do not intend to program. Roy Hebi, UUCP: {ames!elroy, <routing site>}!gryphon!pnet02!rhebi INET: rhebi@pnet02.gryphon.com

Regarding the inquiry on Super-C, I've been using it for a few years and it's
terrific. While the I/O lib is small, it is standard, so it ports well. It
comes with a good, easy set of graphic lib. functions, and setting up a SID lib. is a snap. I've swapped programs with a friend who writes in TurboC, and I
have no problem running them after changing header file names and iserting my
own graphic functions.
The disk also comes with a few good utilities for copying files, fast loading, and printing.
When I bought it it cost about $35.00
at Software Etc.
If you have any questions, drop me a line!
