The product is from WATCOM, Computer Systems Group, University of Waterloo, 158 University Ave., Ontario, Canada N2L 3E9. License fee is $1800.00 per year, with a 50% discount to educational institutions. The code from the compiler looks very clean to me (I hack Assembler 370 as IBM writes EVERYTHING in Assembler). There is a nice little front-end to CMS routines so users may interface EXECs (REXX and otherwise) easily. Waterloo C also includes a lot of CMS file system interfaces, a good set of documentation, and a copy of Kernighan and Ritchie. I had had it up to my eyebrows with Pascal/VS and PL/I on VM. I am now a novice C programmer, and love the cleanliness of expression, and look forward to a langauge which won't get in my way. Please contact me at this address or at KARL%USCVM.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA. :Karl "Life is rough in the putty-knife factory." -------
