Message-ID: <505@astrovax.UUCP> Date: Mon, 3-Dec-84 15:04:33 EST Article-I.D.: astrovax.505 Posted: Mon Dec 3 15:04:33 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 4-Dec-84 08:33:24 EST Organization: Princeton Univ. Astrophysics Lines: 19 Tartan is advertising a C compiler for Vax BSD Unix. Some of their claims are Optimized object code that makes your programs run up to three times faster. Object code that's up to 55% smaller. Optional array bounds checking More complete error diagnostics. Price is $2000 for one cpu. There is a 15% educational discount. Their sales dept. phone number is (412) 621-2212. Has anybody had any experience with this? Sounds interesting if their claims are true. I have felt (as stated in previous postings) that Unix on the Vax has badly needed a super-optimizing C compiler. Whether this is it I don't know. Reply to me and I will summarize to the net. -- Bill Sebok Princeton University, Astrophysics {allegra,akgua,burl,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,noao,princeton,vax135}!astrovax!wls
