Does anyone else on the net have any experience with the Tartan C compiler?

We have just gotten a version on the Vax here and the results with it are quite
surprising.  I obtained as much as a 60% performance improvement over pcc with
the -O option.  The compiler manages cpu registers very well and has an option
to do floating point in single precision.  I did not have much faith in
optimizing compilers in the past but the Tartan C compiler has converted me.

Does anyone out there know if Tartan is marketing their compiler for other
machines?  We have interest in the NS32032 and the Cray 1 series.
