Subject: Comments on Whitesmith's C
Some comments on Whitesmith's:
(1) It is very, very slow on CP/M systems. The system
I use has a Priam winchester and 32k of disk buffering.
I would hate to see it on a floppy based system.
(2) It is a "full" C (e.g. has floating point in the language).
(3) It's faster (execution) than BDS C. For compilation,
BDS C is far faster.
(4) The entire I/O library is "wrong" - almost nothing
is compatible with Bell C.
