I for one would be VERY interested in registering -IF- you could get a few
more bugs out. I tried two things on DICE as a test. The first was BYacc1.4.
The compile produced invalid code for the passing of argv, assert was
defined the wrong way around, and a few routines weren't available (mktemp,
getenv,abort). While I realize that this is the beginnings of a great c
compiler for the amiga, its not useable by me right now since I must fight
with it to get proper code.

The second test was A68k. With this one the compile died (error message
with impossible line number) and since I didn't want to hunt down the reason
I left it at that.

Best of luck with what is truely a promising product but I for one won't
pay for it until I can actually use it.

(GOD I hope I'm not coming through too strong - I just wanted to explain
some problems I've had and why I won't pay for DICE yet)
