As you all know, Borland announced their C port for Linux some time ago
and AFAIK they didn't mention a BSD port at all.

Well...when a big fish moves the smaller fish have to do something about
it. Thinking that it would be a good time for us to press for a port of
KAI or Comeau C++ I visited their websites.

Surprise! the C compiler market is moving, but not towards FreeBSD.

KAI (http://www.kai.com/) will be bought by Intel RSN.
Comeau computing (http://www.comeaucomputing.com/) has released a
NetBSD/i386 port.

I'm not too sure if I understand how advocacy works (who does...), but
if someone would be eventually interested in buying these products, it
would be a good time to drop in some email to those sites.

cheers,

     Pedro.
