Maarten,

Do you really mean ANY 'C' compiler?  Really?  What I want to do is to make 
sure the 'C' code produces the result I desire.   Does SDCC adhere strictly 
to ANSI syntax?  Does it function similarly to Borland's compiler?  It would 
be really convenient to have a tool that's "close enough."

regards,

Richard Erlacher
