But I think it cannot do bit manipulation and it can only create small memory model (<=64K size). I bought MIX-C compiler earlier this year for $39 (it still costs the same), which includes the compiler on the disk and the manual book. I have used it extensively and love it. At $39 it's a steal. It's an one-pass compiler which compiles and links code quickly (faster than my Microsoft C compiler). I would recommend this MIX-C compiler if you're looking for a low cost, full- feature C compiler. John N. Le (AT&T Consumer Products Laboratories, Indpls, IN) ..!inuxh!jnl
