I am sorry if this is the wrong list, but I do need help.  I am trying
to keep gcc and g++ from being booted out of our department.  Their
argument is very compelling, "Hey, if it's from Sun it's obviously
good.  Further, anything you pay for is obviously good."

Does anyone have data concerning specifically the quality of gcc, both
at producing accurate code and efficient code?  What I really need is
quantitative data.  Please email to me and I will summarize and post
if there is enough interest.

-Thanks,
 Michael

Holocaust memorial, saying Germans must never forget Nazi atrocities:
	``(We) owe it to our children and grandchildren. We must pass on to
them the realization that it is not at all self-evident that one should
be allowed to live in peace and freedom.''
