I've posted this complaint before, but the (mandatory) optimizing
step of the Power C compiler sometimes gags with no explanation.
I think it has something to do with arrays of function pointers,
but I can't tell--and their tech support is not very helpful.

Also, the MIX utility that they've included to convert .OBJ files
to the .MIX format will sometimes give the error message "Could
not process threads."  What's a thread?  Tech support says that
Turbo assembler causes threads.  I don't use TASM.  Oh.  Okay,
use MASM.  But what's a thread?....

I'm going to upgrade to TC++.
