But one has to ask, > why would you want to mix gold with lead? OK, I get the hint. What is MPC? Will it support 32-bit data types? Anyone got a URL? I'm not sure what the gold and lead question means. To reiterate: I need a C compiler which fully supports 32 bit data types and floating point maths, supports the 17C44, and will either: 1/ assemble MPASM-compatible assembly code 2/ link MPASM-generated object code The reason for the fixation with MPASM is simply that I intend to use their published FFT module. I'm absolutely happy to use a different FFT module - would prefer it, even, if I could get one in C source for the appropriate compiler. Hi-Tech C gets damn close, but it won't assemble much MPASM assembler due to a number of small syntactical and lexical differences. Steve Thackery Suffolk, England.
