The ccs compiler in UnixWare is pretty cool.  It comes bundled with
tools like cscope.  I'm thinking of getting the cscope source license
from AT&T for $400.00
for FreeBSD hacking.

All cc's have bugs but ccs' optimizations are faster and more reliable
than the gnu stuff.

Apparently, the next revision of UnixWare will have a CDE desktop and an
optional "Explorer-like" browser desktop.
