If you are happy then I am happy. It is just a shame that those compiler packages are so crufty. Another heads up. One of the ways the Intel compiler is getting performance is by inline expansion of code. Compile a hello world C program, the same as C++, using both gcc and ecc. Then compare the binary file sizes. The Intel compiler is producing a very large executable by comparison. The things done for SpecINT. ;-) Bob
