Hello All... This is my first time posting to the net, so flames on low please... I recently acquired a Rainbow 100A with 5 meg HD and 256K RAM. What C compilers are there out there that I can use without Code Blue/896K RAM/ DOS 3.1 set up that everyone seems to have ? I have Turbo C 1.5 but I understand that only works with the above setup, and even then with problems. I have DOS 2.11 currently. Are there advantages to upgrading to Turbo C 2.0 from a Rainbow Standpoint ?? Any help is greatly appreciated... joe connorton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- joe connorton | Bitnet: CONNORTON@UORHBV DATATOP Coordination Center | University of Rochester | 1325 Mt.

MIX software in Richardson, Texas Made a C compiler called Mix C that was full K&R 1 complient. It sold for 19.95 back in 1987. It does have some IBM special functions that you can't use but other than that it works great on the rainbow. I have used on the rainbow 1000 for 2 years now with no problems. There book on the compiler is great it by it's self is worth the 19.95. There Phone number is 214-783-6001. Hope this is of some help -- Jim Karsten Digital Equipment Corporation Karsten@decatl.alf.dec.com or Karsten@decatl.dec.com or Karsten%decatl@decwrl.dec.com "Disclaimer, Opinions expressed here are mine and not those of my
