If you have a UNIX license, its free, or it was a while ago. COntact CJT@MC.

I don't have an 8087 myself, so I can't verify its bug-free-ness, but I have been using this compiler heavily for non-floating-point stuff and am very impressed with it. It runs on an IBM PC or other MS-DOS machine with 128K RAM and at least a megabyte on-line (ie on an IBM you need a hard disk). It's an extremely professional compiler; compilation is rather slow, but the generated code is excellent. It's available from Lifeboat Associates, 1651 Third Ave., NY, NY 10028, (212)862-0300. -- Scott ------- Responses received to enquiry re subject via arpanet bboards: -------
