Cheers. I sort-of subconciously avoided Pure because LLVM requires C++, but I guess it would be more appropriate for my 64-bit box. Q starts and runs nicely on my PDA, a Sharp Zaurus running Angstrom Linux which has issues compiling and sometimes running C++ apps. You'd think 64MB would be as adequate for a little bit of light coding as it was 7 or 8 years ago, but at least for C++ it's aparently not.
