Well, I sure know what you mean. But I still have problems with hi-
tech's pic c. For sure, its a nice slick dos program, but thats just it!
Thats the problem. They don't have anything that will run on an
IMSAI, or an ALTAIR (even nothing for an AIM65 ). You really aren't
going to believe this, but I checked and I found out that although
they do have a C compiler that runs under CPM, they don't have a
version for CPM that will compile code for the Pics. They have just
gotten too durn modern with that blasted dos stuff, and now, to
take the cake, some of their customers, and potential customers
are asking fer stuff to run under the dad-blamed winders operating
system. It really steams me up!
