Could somebody please tell me which is the best // C compiler to use, I've been told to wait for the new release of the 3L // C compiler. Is 3L's compiler really the best for multi-tasking etc. on a network of Transputers? Thanks in advance. Saqib A. Khan.

Khan. The new Inmos compiler currently Beta testing is shaping up well but seems to lack a few **useful** features. As for the new 3L compiler, I dont know but it should be good!?!? 3L seem to have better Library management than the (current Beta) Inmos product which seems to produce a lot of code. It would be interesting to hear from all those 3L users and prehaps we could have a nice comparison between the two. (OK, ok, and all the other vendors as well :-) Ian. -- Ian Nandhra, Specialix, 3 Wintersells Road, Byfleet, Surrey, KT14 7LF, UK {backbone}!mcsun!ukc!slxsys!iann iann@specialix.co.uk Tel: +44 (0) 9323 54254 Fax: +44 (0) 9323 52781 Telex: 918110 SPECIX G >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

But on another note: Has anyone tried to use icvlink to convert old 3L libraries to the new TCOFF format. When we try, ilink seems to ignore the newly converted library. I looked at the libraries using ilist and they appear ok. And I've done all the obligatory -I options when using the tools to see whats going on. It appears that everything is ok, but the linker just doesn't want to recognize the converted libraries. (Yes, I remembered to run the librarian, ilibr, on the TCOFF file.) Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. The specific libraries we are trying to convert are those provided with the IMS F000A-1 Vector processing TRAM (IMS B420) C libraries.
