Microsoft has no such compiler. Maybe you meant to say that Microsoft has no such compiler at a reasonable price. They most certainly *do* have a 32-bit version of their C compiler - it comes with their OS/2 V2.0 development kit (just shipping in the last month). I haven't seen it, not doing OS/2 development, and it's rather expensive (the whole development kit costs $2600, counting documentation, compiler, developer's tools, etc). It's basically the same sort of deal as their earlier SDK's - a premium price to get an early look at the new version of OS/2. But it probably isn't ready for prime time yet. Bruce C. Wright
