- Question 1: You can get a copy of the Power C compiler by calling them.
- They are in Richardson, Tx, and while I don't have their number handy,
- you can call directory assistance for it. Saddly, they do not have an 800
- number. The curent price for the compiler is 19.95 plus shipping and
- handling.
-
- Question 2: because the book that comes with the compiler is an
- *excelent* C dictionary and general reference book, worth (imho) more
- than the cost of the compiler. While the GNU C is about the same price,
- and yes, it's more powerful, (though I note you didn't give any
- information about obtaining it, either) it doesn't (the last time I saw
- one) come with much documentation.
