- I'm curious about the two people who have had problems with Intel
- development tools. I've been teaching courses using iRMX at
- Queens College since 1984. The only change/inconsistency that I
- have been aware of was a change from the Mark Williams C compiler
- to the present one, an ANSI C compiler that, I was told by someone
- at Intel, was based on their own PLM compiler. There have been
- bugs in their development tools, but my experience is that they
- fix the bugs and the tools are reliable. I've certainly never
- seen inconsistencies from version to version -- except when going
- from the "traditional" C compiler by Mark Williams, which never
- was reliable enough to work with in my opinion, to the current
- ANSI C compiler, which has finally made me give up PLM for good.
