The compiler appears a little faster than Turbo C and compiles several pieces of code which I regard as "hard" tests, Berkeley style stuff which PC compilers other than Borland's and Lattice's generally break on, easily. Major C++ features which I have tested work. I have noticed a couple of minor glitches which I am told will be repaired free-of-charge after about 4 weeks when most such items are known. Stream output (cout) works on my computer at home but not on Govt. computers (Zenith 248s & Sperry IT's) at work, a piece of the resident help utility occasionally gets left in the ruler line of the zed editor, and the XOR write mode for circles of the flash-graphics package included (or possibly my understanding of same) is lacking something. Compared to most 1.0 releases of software, a pretty short list. Ted Holden HTE
