I too received the upgrade offer for 6.0 from 5.1 for only 125.00?
What about QuickC? When I purchased 5.0 I received QC and
later bought QC 2.0?. I do most of my prototyping in QC.
Does 6.0 come with QC? If not, will my old QC libs be compatible with
6.0 or vice versa?
By the way, is 6.0 compatible with SDK 2.1, and I guess the SDK for WIN 3.0?
So it costs $125.00 for C6.0, so let us optimistically say $100.00 for win3.0,
$150.00 for the new SDK (for upgrades). $375.00 smackers, now if I add how
much I have already paid for $windos 2.0 , $win386, $SDK 2.0 & $upgrade,
$C 5.0 & $5.1 upgrade, $QC 2.0...........I should have bought stock in MS!
Additionally, this new environment probably means that I will add another
10-20 readme, doc, txt files to my collection!

C 6.0 comes with a command line version of the QuickC compiler, updated to compile most of the new C 6.0 constructs (ANSI compliance, based pointers, etc.). The QuickC environment per se is not included, but the Programmer's Workbench/compiler/CodeView/advisor/browser combination gives you same same integration and ease of use that QuickC gave you -- editing, compiling, debugging in the same environment, pull down menus and dialog boxes for setting compile/link options, on-screen help for all the run-time library and error messages, etc. etc. In short, C 6.0 doesn't actually include QuickC, but it gives you everything that QuickC gave you, and a lot more. --Peter Golde (phg@cs.brown.edu)

[remaining deleted] The MSC upgrade includes the QC compiler (invoked via the /qc command line switch), but not the QC integrated environment. For that they have the PWB (Programmer's Workbench), to control development, compilation, etc. PWB, however, is EXTREMELY slow on DOS systems, even w/ a hefty ramdisk and disk cache. It spends much of its time swapping itself in and out of memory when the compiler, debugger, etc. are invoked. Apparently this isn't so much a problem on OS/2 systems. ------------------------------------------------------------ Bob DuBose dubose_b@wums.wustl.edu Department of Genetics bdb@agar.wustl.edu Washington University in St. Louis ------------------------------------------------------------ "1 + 1 it could manage (2) and 1 + 2 (3) and 2 + 2 (4) or tan 74 (3.4874145), but anything above 4 it represented merely as 'A Suffusion of Yellow.'
