Not that this even matters. I've just tested a 28,000 line build and link on my mobile pentium laptop and it comes in at about 15 seconds. For typical ongoing edit with a trivial makefile in this style .SUFFIXES: .icn .u .icn.u: unicon -u -fs -c $* OBJECTS=obj1.u obj2.u obj3.u all: final.icx final.icx: Makefile $(OBJECTS) icont -u -f s -o final.icx $(OBJECTS) clean: rm -f final.icx tags *.u *.dir *.pag the typical turnaround is quicker than I could fire up a new browser and link to a page. As Steven says, to cut through the various definitions of interpreted vs. compiled, Unicon's compile cycle is a non-issue; it cannot be compared to a C++ build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
