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.
