Mike, Any idea when a WORKING version of the compiler will be available??? BTW, found yet another bug. Anybody report that enums are always allocated as 16 bits (Manual claims they are sizeof(int)) no matter which size is used for integers?

Peter, contrary to the tone of your message lots and lots of people are using 5.0a with little or no difficulties. Whether or not you encounter bugs depends alot on your coding style. See my message here in the C language area about the 5.0b release… enum problem is known, and fixed in 5.0b. -Mike

Mike, For most of the little utilities I've written for myself work OK. Then again they don't tend to push the compiler very hard. The "tone" of my message is due to all the time I've wasted trying to port a few complex programs (compilers, waveform processing programs, etc.) that I use at work. These are all running under two or three different OS's with different compilers and were written to be portable. So far all the problems I've run into were compiler bugs. Combine this with the fact that I ordered and paid for 5.0 a year ago when you first started taking orders, then discovering that somebody decided not to bother shipping me the new version until I called again and asked for it, you shouldn't be surprised that I'm a little annoyed about the whole thing.
