The following program does not work in Lightspeed C v1.02:

    #include <stdio.h>
    main()
    { long x;
      x = 7;
      printf("%f\n",(float)(x-1));
    }

It prints 7.0000 rather than six as it ought to. Not very reassuring.

Concerning the recent requests for evaluations of C compilers, I find
one problem with Lightspeed to be its un-graceful handling of Unix
filters. I have several suites of a dozen or so small programs meant
to be linked together with pipes. These are essentially useless with
Lightspeed C. With Aztec C I can at least write a shell file that will
connect them using temporary files.
