This is not a pet project for Saturday afternoon hackers. My data
acquisition system will have several hundred thousand ( 100,000 ) sensors
around the world. I don't want to "poll" them nor can I tolerate a PC's
size, complexity, temperature rating and cost.

So my question remains, do the current C compilers have the capability for
string manipulation that I've previously mentioned or should I stick with
assembly?

Thanks,
