[author : Richard Relph, Steve Hahn, Fred Viles]

It's said that in the high-stakes poker palaces of San Jose, California, lowball games have been known to run for weeks, the players coming and going without affecting the game. Since we published our first extensive comparative review of C compilers for MS-DOS last year, several players have cashed in their chips and moved on, but new players - such as IBM - have arrived. The review team has again wielded its collection of surgical benchmarks, each designed to measure a particular aspect of compiler performance, and it's added a typical-performance benchmark, the dhrystone.

[author : Namir Clement Shammas]

Namir shows how to get around the limitations of data typing. He describes routines that handle different-size arrays with the same data types and then explains routines that handle different data types. Namir also takes a look at a new extended for loop in a Pascal compiler.
