Let's see…It comes with about 75K worth of docs (45K for the DME editor), A68K, das (an assembler for the compiler), dmake (a UNIX-like "make" program), dme (the editor I mentioned above), a special linker, a "cc" program, complete library source, some examples, and probably some other stuff that I've left out. If you're looking to learn C from the documentation, then it's not for you. It sounds like you've had some experience with the other compilers, so I think you should have no problem with the info supplied with the docs. I was able to set everything up by just doing a few "assign"'s and adding a directory or two to my PATH. Compiled and linked a "hello world" program with no problem. I don't use it, because I don't really have a need for another compiler. I used MANX for quite a while, and now enjoy using the Lattice compiler (which I got a couple of months ago). If it starts sounding like DICE is kicking Lattice around, I'll probably switch to DICE and send in the shareware fee. For now, I'm happy with Lattice. Another thing, a guy named Matt Dillon wrote DICE. He also did DNET, and quite a few useful utilities. This guy doesn't mess around. He puts out good stuff. Steve
