I guess what I'm about  to say will blow my chance of a "free copy" but here
goes
anyway.....

Wow that's some compiler. To what extent  is inline VB supported? I don't
know
VB but I thought it was entirely Windows based. Surely the only reason to
include
inline VB is to code  VB stuff. If it's just some inline syntax from another
language
then I can't see the point.

If you are able to output  assembly code, aren't you 90% of the way to
producing
something that doesn't need to sit on top of C anyway?

If the code being generated  is C++ (of whatever dialect), won't it
basically produce
code of  the speed that the compiler would produce with equivalent
optimisation?
In my limited experience I haven't noticed this sort of speed improvement of
C code
when compared with EU.

Umm...I thought you said this PRODUCED C code to be compiled BY the compiler
that the user already has. Why provide a squizillian compilers with the
package?

If you supply the  URL then EVERYONE on this list will look at it and you
will certainly
get the help you need.

As it stands it does sound too good to be true and my (admittedly limited)
knowledge
is telling me that this doesn't gel. I suspect an upset ex-member of the
list (a few of
them around at the moment unfortunately!) might just be having a lend!
