However, since it is expensive ($80 plus postage), especially for us over in the old continent (remember the $ is so high that it looks like part of the satellite defence system!), I want to know what I would get. Questions, therefore: 1. Is it a true compiler, or simply (as many Pascal "compilers") a translator from some intermediate object? 2. Are there any practical restrictions (e.g. using the limited 64 stack)? 3. Any benchmarks, e.g. for sieve of Erastosthenes? 4. Any competitor products? I would be happy to see answers via net.micro.cbm (plus, of course, answers to the questions that I should have asked but didn't). Mike Gerard, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
