Res. about ST problems. Their British support arm stinks. They really need a good shot of deoderant. There was a joke in a Unix mag about unix support staff who could not destinguish an I-node from a tree-toad. That is these guys through and through. To the point. Have any of U over there with a developers kit got any better support than I have? If so who is Ur contact and what does it cost? I have found the C compiler to have numerous code-generation bugs (try struct {char x,y} z; ... if ((--z.x)<'9') { and U get real crappy code (BCD operations actually). Does any stateside good-guy have a bug list for this compiler ? Should we start one ? Am I the only person using DR C ? [ I have a list of about 10 different code generation funnies if anyone wants them] All comments welcome Jon Malone
