Michael, A number of people are curently working on ZC, and at least one, Jeff Lydiatt, has dropped all his work on PDC in favour of ZC. He says it is a much better compiler, producing tighter code, and with fewer bugs. I have just spoken with him, and he says he has released a version recently, so I will get it from him as soon as I can and upload it. -larry

Larry, I believe the group in Champaign, Ill., has just released a new version of PDC – a three disk version. I do not yet have a copy, but a friend was given a pre-release copy of it. It is supposed to be ready for release. Betty

Larry, Thanks for the information. I have had a version of PDC for awhile and recently ran across the ZC compiler on here. I'm going to be doing some C classes for our user group and wanted to give everyone a common basis for their programming. I'll use ZC and keep an eye on things here for any upgrades, etc. I appreciate your help. Mike Cook
