[net.lang.c] Query: Public Domain C Compilers

     On a slightly different note, does anyone know of a public
domain / shareware C compiler for the IBM PC?  It doesn't have to
be fancy.  Source or object are both OK, (but if source, then the
compiler must be able to compile itself.)

Yes. Small-C.
Get the book "Dr Dobb's Toolbox of C". This contains reprints of the
original Dobbs articles. The code is CP/M specific, but a MS-DOS version is
available on all programming-language oriented bulletin boards.
Can anyone on the West Coast give Dave a local BBS? If not, try PC-BOSS at

Maybe small-c can be posted to the net.

It already was.  To mod.sources.  Please don't post it again.

Have I missed something here ??  I didn't think the SmallC compiler had
a code generation stage for 8086/8 processors.  I presume that's what is
required, since this is the PC newboard...  :-)
