Him, Afraid TDI has been out of business for quite some time now. The editor was moderately buggy, as were the library modules, but the basic compiler produced better more robust code than either of the current M2 compilers on the market today. I have the source to the library modules and will be glad to send them to you if you'll send me disk and return mailer. You may be better off using the provided error listing program and some other editor, just can't say since I never used their editor. If you wish to switch to a currently available compiler I would suggest M2Sprint since you get all the library modules with the compiler (unlike BenchMark) and you get all the sources to those libraries (again unlike BenchMark). The caviot here is that M2Sprint is being heavily discounted through mail order houses now, perhaps largely due to the lack of formal tech support or any likely future development. You can always get support here for it (as well as for the TDI one at least from me since I still have several major systems written using it). Chip
