============================================================

I think he's remarking on the price of compilers, and that he
might have a point there. A missing detail is, what is today's
price for such a compiler outside the free-software market,
and how do such compilers compare in usefulness?

But down in this topic, I think I see a changing market, and
it's not changing for the better. Seems to me, almost everyone
who uses a computer, one way or another, is becoming a script
kiddie, someone who uses software but has no knowhow about its
source code. I recently found my old copy of Hendrix, A Small
C Compiler (2nd ed, M&T Books, 1990) and until I looked at
that, I had no idea how much today's user seem to know nothing
of the kind of detail in that book.

The point being, that price reflects market value, and today's
market being full of these script kiddies who have no use for
a compiler, the market no longer supports such books *and* the
hardware tech change has obsoleted a lot of once good stuff.
Re that Borland Pascal compiler, does that run in an 8-bit or
a 16-bit machine? What OS does it run in?

Why don't you just post to the news group you are reading?
Don't know how to use a news reader?

Well everyone knows that Apple designed the purtiest GUI in the biz. It has taken me 2 yrs to get this Mac right as you cannot see under the skin like thru Windows but now i'm well pleased with my Mac. Have you got a light Mac?
No, but I've got a dark brown overcoat.
