Impossible. They don't *want* to be convinced. gcc does have its odds and ends, but i don't think it's an overstatemant to call it ``leading technology'' for C compilers (together with only a few commercial ones, and they are surprisingly close to gcc by design). So if the Wind/U people think that it's a low quality compiler, they clearly state that they simply don't have the least interest in your request, despite of the introductionary flowers. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
