A few questions about the latest version of THINK's Lightspeed C,
which apparently is already shipping:

I've heard a lot of speculation about what it does and doesn't support.
From what I can gather, it can handle both C code and C++ code.  Is this
correct?  If it can still handle straightforward C (why wouldn't it?),
can it deal with ANSI C, or are we still stuck with 'old-style' C?

Is it compatible with projects constructed by earlier versions of THINK C
(again, why shouldn't it be?)?  What's this talk about it being compatible
with MacApp, and can it get along with MPW 3.0 C code to any extent?

And what are its assembler capabilities?  Does it have a (good) in-line
assembler?

Thankew.
