By the way, CCS is a prime offender in this regard; the "Compiler Comparison" page on their web site compares their compiler to a VERY old version of MPC. A number of people have asked them to update that page, but CCS apparently believe that it wouldn't serve their interests to do so, since (at least, the last time I checked) they haven't yet gotten around to it. -Andy === Andrew Warren - .....fastfwdKILLspam@spam@ix.netcom.com === Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California === http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499

We are quite aware of the age of our comparison. We do have several customers working on that comparison so it will be current. anybody that asks me about the page I tell me that it is comparing the older version of the compiler. You can also note that it does not cover Microchip's compiler, just the ByteCraft compiler. This also will soon be changed. I will change our web page today to reflect that this is an old version of the comparison and to look for a new one soon.
