From: Ron Natalie <ron@BRL> Date: 8 Oct 82 4:18:17-EDT (Fri) There is one for sale from RSI that was mentioned in this week a month ago. It runs only under VM/CMS and costs $4000 for the compiler, $2000 for the STDIO library, and another thou or two for a debugger that only runs on 3270's. Interesting thing however, I called them up and asked for information and they sent me a copy of K & R's book along with their own sales literature. Seems like a great way to save $14 (or what ever they cost these days) for those who don't already have a copy. The implementation looks more than reasonable, and the price is rather good when compared with most IBM software. The documentation points to complete implementation that works under CMS with interface to the CMS command line interface with conventional argc and argv argument passing. In addition the command line arguments are automatically scanned for things beginning with ">" or "<" to set up default inputs and outputs for the I/O set ups. - Ron
