I'm looking for a C compiler and associated libraries for my
Apple ][+ to run under DOS 3.3. Speed and efficiency are not as
important as completeness of implementation and quality of
documentation. A reasonable price (< $200) is a real biggie.
Any ideas out there ?
Thanks in advance,
Stephan Schell

I recommend Aztec C65 from Manx Software Systems, somewhere in New Jersey (I have several different addresses for them). Their ads appear in several home computer journals; try especially the IBM PC and Macintosh mags. Their latest Apple II release (V1.05C) runs under DOS 3.3; they have a ProDOS version currently undergoing testing (it promises to be a really nice environment, especially for users with disks larger than Disk IIs). Aztec C65 implements practically all of K&R (including floating-point) under any combination of native 6502 code (for speed) and interpreter (for small size); the ProDOS version will have void data types, (void *) generic pointers, struct assignment, etc. A UNIX-like subset shell, graphics library, and utilities (including a visual editor) are included. The ProDOS package is advertised as supporting cross-development of programs to run under DOS 3.3, which seems perfectly feasible to me, but that part appears not to be ready for testing yet. You can supposedly also purchase cross-development Aztec C to run on systems such as UNIX, producing Apple II downloadable code. Disclaimer: My only connection with Manx is as a happy user.

I've used this product running on an IBM PC host, with excellent results. Both ends of a download program are included. > Disclaimer: My only connection with Manx is as a happy user. Likewise.
