I have actually used the latest (as of Fall, '88) version of Intel C with
a specific eye towards reasonable code and PL/M compatibility.  I was pleased
to see both.  This is version 3.x (maybe 4.x, I can't remember).  This was NOT
the original hack job that was too awful for words.

With regards to PL/M compatibility, there is no way to say "SELECTOR" in C such
that LINK86 will not complain of type mismatches with PL/M modules, but the
code works fine.

Generated code looks very much like that of PL/M, the default parameter-passing
mechanism is "fixed param" which is like MSC "pascal".  Interrupt procedures
work just like PL/M.  Now don't send flames to me if you don't like PL/M's code
I'm just saying it looks similar if not identical!

The debugger that I Beta -tested looks like Intel licenced it from the same
place Microsquishy got Codeview.  Seemed to work OK for simple things --
I didn't have a lot of time to work with it, as I was doing an embedded
system, not DOS.

This work was done when employed by Intercim Corp. in Burnsville, MN.  I will
forward email to them, as they are not quit on the net yet.
