[] > [claims that one-pass compilers only belong on obsolete hardware...] I use the Megamax C compiler on the Atari ST. It is a one-pass compiler, vintage 1986. I love it, because it is VERY fast! Just because the machine has 1 Meg RAM and a 68000 does NOT mean efficiency doesn't pay! A note to compiler writers: One-pass, two-pass, I don't care what the algorithm is, but please use RAM, not the disk, for "temporary files" stuff. It's all that disk-grinding that is obsolete! - Moshe Braner
