Really? You don't find it a bit curious?

Are you sure you don't mean Borland C?

Anyways, if you have MSC installed, I would appreciate a build of
Cheap Sed. It's quite easy to rebuild. (Then again, Gmail hates binary
.EXE attachments, even inside .ZIP.)

What compiler would you recommend for that?

No, I'm talking about default compiles being unbuffered, *unlike* the
("newer") Turbo C++ 1.01, which works fine. (So all these years it was
slower than it should've been.)

Since TC2.01 is freeware (and TC++1.01 less so nowadays), I think this
is worth clarifying, even in spite of your feigned ignorance.
(Actually, "maybe" you can still get TC++ freeware if you download
some modern Windows trialware, but I never bothered. Anyways, the old
.ZIP is mirrored on Wayback Machine, for good or bad.)

BTW, today I wrote a much-simplified sed script for FASM for PSR
Invaders. Want a copy? Probably not much use to benchmark, though.
