I bought quickC, because it was cheaper, at least in the stores around here, then TurboC. I since realized that TurboC has several functions that QuickC doesn't, basically aimed toward home programming. (For example, there is no QuickC function to control the beeper.) On the other hand, QuickC has features, more geared toward professional programmers. (For example there is not only a graphics library, but a second, business graphics library.) It also have special niceties for system programmers. It allows you to declare a function to be a driver for a given interrupt, the debugger and integrated system are for both C and MASM, the inline code is full MASM. I also liked being full MicroSoft C compatable. Each claim that they produce faster code. For the same benchmarks. I don't know how. Comments? I also underplayed TurboC's advantages. But is my basic categorization (but TurboC for the home, QuickC for work - business or system programming) correct? -- Micha Berger mberger1%tasha@graf.poly.edu Imitatio Dei means never having to say "I'm sorry."
