I for one see no reason to spend money on C/iX (I have it as part of the DSSP).

Mark Klein has provided us with the port of the "industry standard" GCC
compiler tools, a very valuable contribution to the hp3000 ecosystem
indeed.  This it what we have switched to and it has many advantages
including better diagnostics.  The only downside so far has been the debug
environment but that may improve with time.  If you insist on using
non-portable intrinsic calls (we do) then you need to get accurate function
prototypes for the intrinsics that you use but that is certainly not an
insurmountable issue.
