Please send this to info-c@brl-tgr.ARPA

I am interested in any information (personal testimony or pointer to a
publication on the subject) about C compilers for the PDP-11 (RSX11M+).
Currently I am using the Whitesmith compiler.  While this compiler is
good and seems to conform to ANSI it has its drawbacks.  

I am looking for optimization first (Overall Speed and floating point
optimization).  i.e., I am looking for a code generator which uses
floating point only assembly language and does not convert to double
precision.  Conforming to ANSI is a secondary requirement.  If they
support prototyping, that would be sufficient.  As long as the company
intends to upgrade to ANSI, I would be satisfied.

thanks,
kc

Please direct responses to me and I will post a summary.
