The only problem with their cross- compilers is that the cheapest one costs $750. They say that is because you really get two compilers. One for the host and one for the target. I sure would rather they did not give you the host compiler and charged closer to the $200 they do for their native mode compilers. Al Gudaitis decvax!genrad!al
