Horror story about 'C' compiler for the TMS320xxx

A friend of mine was using the Texas C Compiler for a student project
at Surrey University. He was having a number of problems, and got onto
TI about it, but their customer support was not too hot seeing as he
was a mere student (read 'pleb':-). 

He was developing his system for MSK carrier recovery on a
Loughborough Sound Images board, so he 'phoned them in search of the
assistance which had thus far eluded him.

He was told: 'Oh yeah, we don't use the C compiler anymore, because
no-one ever got it to work'.

He re-started basically from scratch, which involved much desperate
assembly-code hacking needing to be done to get his project in in time.

Ho Hum,

Andy.
