I agree with the others that debugging is a pain and that the produced code
size is not as small as one would ilke, but I have used it for a couple
of years in a graduate translator construction course quite successfully.

The students like the Turbo Pascal-like environment though the translator
writer system for the course will not link edit successfully within the
environment so one must exit and link separately (thank goodness for
.BAT files).  At about 6K LOC, the TWS isn't that large but there is a
limit on how much 640+64=704K can hold.

All-in-all, I find it a very comfortable compiler.
