[net.micro.apple] apple C compiler info wanted

ksb@houxs.UUCP (K.BANDES) (11/05/85)

Manx has an Aztec C for the Apple.  I'm not sure if they have PRODOS
support, because I used it a couple of years ago, but they might.
I didn't actually use the native Apple II compiler - I used a cross that
ran on a PC.  I was quite happy with it, as I've been with Manx in
general.  C is hard to do on a 6502 (it has just a 256 byte stack), but
they've done a nearly complete K & R (missing only bit fields, which they
may have implemented by now).  Their technical support people are always
helpful (though the line is always busy).

They're at:
	Manx Software Systems
	Box 55
	Shrewsbury, NJ 07701
	1-800/221-0440

Manx has been advertising their ProDOS flavored C in Byte, but as far as the 
powers-that-would-know on BIX (Byte Information eXchange) have been able to 
find out from Manx, it will be shipping Real Soon Now.  Read: your guess is as 
good as mine.
