I can't help commenting (a couple of :-)'s) that the language people should be using is of course Draco! It, along with a minimal workbench, all include files and libraries, etc. fits on ONE disk, leaving your second disk for your stuff. It also compiles faster than Lattice (and probably faster than Aztec, but I don't have one to compare). Has anyone out there given it a try yet? (It's on Fish disks 76 and 77). -- Chris Gray Myrias Research, Edmonton +1 403 432 1616 {seismo!mnetor,ubc-vision,watmath,vax135}!alberta!myrias!cg
