- : Question 1: You can get a copy of the Power C compiler by calling them.

-
- They do too. 1-800-333-0330.
-
- : The curent price for the compiler is 19.95 plus shipping and handling.
-
- This is correct. Do not forget the debugger either, Power C Trace.
- GNU has nothing to even remotely match it.
-
- : 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.
