Lines: 13 I think it's really funny how the folks at U of T are loudly shouting out of one side of their mouths about how great the IBM PC is, how so much wonderful software exists for it and how the greats of the industry are all working on it. Out of the other side of their mouths comes sneaking messages desparately requesting a C compiler that can compile a program bigger than 64K without generating seriously broken code. We don't seem to have that problem in 68000-land, guys. Why not go back to the 8080, at least the compilers work. John Gilmore, Sun Microsystems, Mt. View, Ca
