That's an 'ok' price. Most compilers come out between there and $2,000. I use Sierra and Hitech compilers at those prices. It's small potatoes. I'm actually pleased to see that one. Obviously, the Msoft visual C visual basic Asm86 packages are too full of bloat. Compromising the code for backwards compatibility into 80386. It's quite possible, that since the P4 does not introduce yet-another marketing hype added instruction set like MMX that Msoft feel no obligation to compile their code for it especially. My guess is, Intel will do very well indeed. -- http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
