A friend of me owns Turbo C. We tested it a bit (just a bit) against MWC, which
I own. I saw that Turbo C was just a little bit faster, not too fast for me
selling MWC!!!. And if you want to do floating point, well don't use Turbo C
it is 2 times SLOWER than MWC.

compile times:
    I use a 1040 ST + SH204 + turbodos (yes I use it without any problems).
    both have nearly the same compile+link time.

We encountered some other problems with compiling some excisting code. Turbo C
doesn't always generate working code. I haven't found that problem yet, but I
will keep searching.

Now you would think I don't like Turbo C. That isn't true, Turbo C is an
ansi compiler, MWC is NOT, the handbook is good and it comes with an integral
editor linker compiler tools 'shell'.

If I didn't own MWC I should buy (or least think about it) Turbo C. But now I
own MWC I don't switch to Turbo C, just because MWC comes with much more tools
and other things.
