I don't know how much 386Max costs, 'cause I get it with the Microsoft C/C++ compiler 7.0. If you need more information about 386Max or MS Windows, please e-mail me directly. I don't read this list often. Hao eehao@sunvis1.vislab.olemiss.edu -- ************************************************* * * * Hao Zheng * * Department of Electrical Engineering *
