Sounds a lot like the Watcom C/386 compiler and tech support.  The
Watcom compiler generates solid, high quality code and is much easier
to work with for special 'asm' code for embedded software.  I don't
really think the Watcom techs can even spell EMBEDDED SOFTWARE, and
the manual doesn't mention it.  Watcom also has trouble following up
on bugs and faxes.
