1. The results for DHRYSTONE that I have found for Aztec C are based on the 
CII version from circa 1983 and not the ProDOS 8 3.2b offering from 1986 
through 1990.

I am in the process of compiling a DHRYSTONE for the newer compiler. I will 
post the results when I am done.

2. I have also seen bizarre comments from advocates of another 
cross-compiler for the Apple II and Commodore 64 which are dismissive of the 
Commmodore 64 Aztec CII cross-compiler version which offers a rich 
environment for that platform, and which DHRYSTONE I will be providing in 
the days ahead as well, without much anticipated problem.

3. On the Apple II side, version 3.2b of the Aztec C cross-compiler provides 
full support for building Stand-Alone applications for both DOS 3.3 and 
ProDOS 8 which include file I/O for both targets, and also supports a ProDOS 
8 Unix-like Shell as an additonal target for building command-line utilities 
etc.

A paralell native-mode version of Aztec C 3.2b is also available for the 
Apple II.

These I will DHRY as well.

4. Aztec C also provides Z80 native mode mode and cross-compilers for Apple 
II's and Commodore 64's for CP/M 80. I will do my best to provide some real 
performance results for these as well.

5. I will not be providing comparable results for compilers other than Aztec 
C for the Apple II or Commodore  64. The users of those can respond to my 
results without being dismissive if they so desire.

More to follow later. For now let's just say that all the Aztec C compilers 
that are available form the website are not only workable and usable, but 
come with too many working examples to dismiss. Where did all the programs I 
have provided that were compiled under Aztec C come from and why do they all 
work for me?  One wonders...
