[Continued] His "subjective ratings … based on comparing Comeau C++ with the professional programming tools and compilers" he uses is: Technical quality and reliablity: excellent Price: good Support: excellent Installation: excellent Documentation: poor Completeness: excellent Integration with AmigaDOS: excellent Integration with C Compilers: excellent I should note that even in the good/poor categories he still comes around though. For instance, the narrative is explicit in mentioning "The documentation… is sparce… In all fairness, … adequate." Also "Compared with prices for C++ development systems on UNIX … (… $2000), even the price… is excellent!" So, I guess he really meant excellent above even though he said good. 😉 The only think I didn't like about the review was that they did not include our phone number. I never noticed but perhaps that is AC Tech policy. Anyway, this message was a somewhat redo of details from others and such on usenet about the article. The article contains many many more details, insights, etc, even some discussion about C++ itself so I would strongly suggest getting a copy. I hope this follow-up helps answer your question further.
