It's not the vendors that are the problem - it's the users. We've
been using Unix for development since the year dot, cross-compiling
for DOS, and have offered compilers to run under Unix for all that
time. The number of Unix hosted compilers we've sold is miniscule compared
to the number of DOS hosted compilers. Sad but true.
