(continued) >And how does Comeau C++ compare to the other compiler on the market? It doesn't. First of all, Comeau C++ is the world's only 2.1 spec compatible C++ for some 10 months now. Ditto for being the world's only compiler that is compatible with the ANSI C++ base document. (BTW, this was true of our 2.0 port as well. It was released in August 1989 as the world's first 2.0 compatible C++. Our 2.1 port was released in May 1990 the same week that both Borland and Glockenspiel released their 2.0 ports!). Furthermore, we do stuff totally unheard of in the industry like: 60-day money-back guarantee, free shipping and handling (and shipping is done 2nd day UPS at that!) and free lifetime technical support (and BTW, we just opened up a BIX technical support conference [j comeau] in addition to being able to be contacted on Compuserve [72331,3421], Usenet [attmail!csanta!c++], voice [718-945-0009] and fax [718-441-0552] as well). Obviously our multi-platform support just cannot be matched by any other vendor. This guarantees you transparent portability of your code when you move from platform to platform. I think being 2.1, low priced, multi-platformed, robust, and then being willing to stand behind out product with free technical support says a lot. And under MS-DOS: another benefit I forget to mention is that the $250 prices includes a DOS-extended version of Comeau C++ so that does not need to be an additional $100 or so like some other vendors charge.
