I agree, I use to use DeSmet C for all my development.  I now use DataLight's
C, it's even faster for what's important (compile time).  The end product
can then be compiled in the best code (spell that runs fastest) producing
compiler.  Metaware's C ranks at top of the list for this purpose.  I use
still another compiler for porting large amounts of code from some other
machine. MS C seems to be best at this job.
