[NTLUG:Discuss] Intel C compiler

[severian@pobox.com]

Howdy,
  At lunch after the last meeting, I asked if anyone had tried the Intel
C compiler. Nobody said yes, and a couple of people said they had not
tried it because of the cost. I thought it was free for non-commercial
use and said I would look up the details.  I may be a little slow, but here
they are.  Go to:

    http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/clin/noncom.htm

  You will see a download that says:
    "This free Non-Commercial Unsupported download contains
      Intel's C++ Compiler 7.0 For Linux"

   I have not tried it yet because it is a 68 meg download, which is to
much for my 33.6 dialup(56k modem, but I almost always get 33.6 or
less) But, it is on my list to get the next time I download stuff at a
friend's house where he has broadband.
Good luck,
Ralph
