A data sheet just arrived in the mail from HCR about a product they
call "C Test Suite" (the name is trademarked, by the way). It is a
collection of programs to test C compilers. I will be chasing HCR
down for further information about this, but I was curious if anyone
has any experience with this product - actual use, rumor, gossip, etc.
A while back I posted a request for information about compiler validation;
C was the only language that nobody seemed to have a handle on (rumors
about an AT&T Bell Labs test that was not releasable). This seems to
be brand new as a product, but it is claimed that the materials that 
make up the product were used in developing the "NCR Tower compiler" 
and the "AT&T 16032 compiler" (trademarks again....).

Once again, it seems appropriate to send responses by Email, and I will
post a summary of my findings (including conversations with HCR) if
there is any interest.
