Meridian gives reductions to students at schools that've bought a site license for school-owned machines. We've used this compiler - in successive versions - for about 4 years at both George Washington Univ. (my permanent home) and the Univ. of Washington (where I'm visiting). Decent, stable system. Certainly worth its price. For full 386 support you need to pay much bigger bucks. Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael B.
