Some new sales literature just arrived from Softworks Ltd. concerning their
C compiler. My impression from previous net news was that it was a dog, the
worst of the available systems; however, here's what the literature said:
-has become the best-selling Professional C Compiler available
-fullest implementation of C available. Includes structs, unions, floating
point, register variables, and bit fields
-complete mac interface, implemented all ROM and OS calls
-fastest executing: club mac has benchmarked it as the fastest executing
development system available.
-support: a professional staff of Mac compiler support personnel.
Will someone who knows something about this please comment? In particular,
what is the full story on this club mac benchmark?
