I have a Commodore 64 and am looking for a C compiler for it. If anyone out there has a C compiler I would like to hear from you. My basic questions follow not necessarily in order of importance. 1) What sort of editor does it use? Does it come with the compiler or do I need to get an editor too? 2) Does it come with an assembler? If not what assembler are you using. Can you compile down to the assembly level and stop there? 3) Can you link modules together? How does it handle files when linking? 4) How much does it let you get away with? For example, can you do the following: int row,col,c; char *ptr; ptr=1024; /* screen */ ptr[col][row]=c; 5) Does it come with any utilities like printf, getchar, etc? Does it have a math library for trig and other functions? Does it use the kernel routines? Does it handle floats? 6) How much does it cost? Who makes it? Was it worth the price? 7) What do you like/dislike about it? 8) Are there any shortcomings or quirks I should know about before I buy? Send mail or post to the net. If there is enough interest I will summarize responses for th net. Thanks in advance! Jim Wiley
