(a description of Laser C followed, along with a few questions)

I have it from a reliable source that Laser C is not very close to being
released, and won't be shipping until February or so.  Still, I've sent
in my disks as it sounds like it'll finally be a nice development environment
for the ST once it does come out.

I would imagine that the editor actually saves the file you're editing then
runs the compiler on it -- that is, it LOOKS like it's compiling directly
from the edit buffer, but it isn't really.  That might mean that code gets
saved when it crashes and you have to reboot.

Also, if the new compiler produces DRI-compatible object code, no jump tables
should be produced, so you needn't worry about doubly indirect calls to the
floating point routines.
