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? > The code generated operates at 10 times the speed of Interpretted U4IA,and > the compilers used are GNU GCC based,but you can use other plug-in compilers > such as Watcom or Visual C++ aswell.

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. >Yeah but I have to pay for all the C/C++ compilers included with it. >I will have a lite version for about a 100 bucks aswell,wich only supports 3 >platforms instead of 70. Umm...I thought you said this PRODUCED C code to be compiled BY the compiler that the user already has.

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! Mark
