A while back there was much discussion here about the status of ORCA/C v. 2.0. Is this available yet? Is it still in beta 11? What is the current version of ORCA/C, and what noticable problems are there with it, if any? ________________________ _________________________ | ProLine: crew@pro-harvest | | Internet: crew@pro-harvest.cts.com | | UUCP: crash!pro-harvest!crew | | ARPA: crash!pro-harvest!crew@nosc.mil | |_______________ BITNET: crew%pro-harvest.cts.com@nosc.mil _________________| ________________________ _________________________ | ProLine: crew@pro-harvest | | Internet: crew@pro-harvest.cts.com | | UUCP: crash!pro-harvest!crew | | ARPA: crash!pro-harvest!crew@nosc.mil | |_______________ BITNET: crew%pro-harvest.cts.com@nosc.mil _________________|

I called because I'm trying to write a mini C compiler (don't anyone worry, I'm doing this as an exercise, not to run Mike out of town) . In fact if beta 12 refuses to compile my program, he asked me to send him a copy of the source code. Maybe if he likes it or all you apple maniacs out there in netland want a j(unior) C compiler......hum... or would people out there prefer a mini-lex compiler? Just Thinking out loud!!

There is no ORCA/C V2.0 in the works; however, there is a V1.1 currently undergoing Beta test. The most recent Beta release was B12. Licensees of ORCA/C V1.0 can obtain a V1.1 Beta test version for the asking, from information services such as America Online and Genie; however, the final release of V1.1 is probably not too far off so you may not want to bother. ORCA/C V1.0 licensees will receive a free upgrade to V1.1 when it is ready, according to ByteWorks. As of ORCA/C V1.1 B12, the language portion (compiler proper) is in pretty good shape, with practically all reported bugs fixed. There are still problems with some of the headers and library functions, for example <assert.h> is utterly non-standard conforming as it stands; these problems have been reported and may be fixed for the final release. I've found V1.1 B12 eminently usable, far more so than V1.0.
