Are you running A/UX 1.0 or 1.1?   I agree with your comments about the speed
of 1.0...but 1.1 is a *much* better product.  If you're not using it I suggest
you give it a try before abandoning A/UX.

As for the compiler, I can't comment since I use gcc, the GNU C compiler 
available for anonymous FTP from Apple.Com.

I think when I get X windows in it'll be a real nice box...not a screamer but
a good general purpose UNIX box.

Just one man's two cents worth.
