As a poor (read that any way U like) British subject I have to interface
with Dig. Res. about ST problems.

Their British support arm stinks.  They really need a good shot of deoderant.
There was a joke in a Unix mag about unix support staff who could not destinguish
an I-node from a tree-toad.  That is these guys through and through.

To the point.  Have any of U over there with a developers kit got any better
support than I have?  If so who is Ur contact and what does it cost?

I have found the C compiler to have numerous code-generation bugs (try
     struct {char x,y} z;
     ...
     if ((--z.x)<'9') {
and U get real crappy code (BCD operations actually).  Does any stateside 
good-guy have a bug list for this compiler ? Should we start one ? Am I the
only person using DR C ? [ I have a list of about 10 different code generation
funnies if anyone wants them]

All comments welcome
