whew!, I thought it was just me!! I was begining to think I'm just a bad 'C'
programmer, well maybe i'm still that!. Anyway YES, I DO get CONSIDERABLY
BIGGER code and a dead-snail's paced compile time and forget about using /r0
for temp files to increase compile time! I downloaded a source on this forum
called 'sc1.c' - scientific calculator which takes 3 minutes to compile on c
3.2 but takes 3 minutes plus a long shower (I could not wait any longer - was
already late for work) for it to tell me that I had ran out of memory - this is
an 80 something 'K' source code. After foregoing '/r0' temp files and unlinking
just about every- thing in memory I finally got it to compile - lets say around
10 minutes or so and about a 15 percent increase in code size. I got so
discouraged that I reinstalled c v3.2. Thank God for the REINSTALL_OLD script
included with Ultra 'C'. I am going to go pick uucc 1.1 next week and I will
see if it improves comp time/code size.
