I think you either haven't used the compiler much or we have just had bad luck -- the first version of the compiler we had had major bugs with the INTEGER*4 data type and the new version they sent us has some problems with integer division type of stuff -- I don't recall exactly what it was, but our programmer was finally able to find a way to bypass it, I think by switching data types... Oh, by the way -- iNTEL was only about a year behind schedual in delivering our new version. I believe that they know about the latest bugs but aren't bothering to fix it or even acknowledge it unless you get a full service contract with them for upkeep. Our salesman was telling us about some new kind of partial service contract they were going to offer, but... Chock up another for that big micro family. -- Kevin
