Toronto UUCP - {uunet,pyramid}!utai!radio!brian Yes, there is a vectorizing C compiler for Convex C1; it's called vc. It is compatible with 4.2BSD C, with an extension of a 64-bit integer data type (long long int). About all of the regular cc options are supported. --Shane Davis Systems Programmer, Univ. of Texas at Dallas Academic Computer Ctr. SHANE@UTDALVM1{.BITNET|.dal.utexas.edu},rsd@engc1.dal.utexas.edu
