[net.micro.hp] Series 200 compilers

I'm looking for some information.
I have a Series 200(236 to be exact) that I would like to speed up.

Does anybody have any experience or know of any compilers for HP BASIC?
A pointer to a C compiler (pun intended) would also be appreciated.
How about a screen editor you'd like to recommend?

We're using these to do some testing so the compilers will have to know
about I/O and interface cards. Unlike the ones available for thier *nix.

Thanks for your help.

Philon, Incorporated has a compiler for the Integral that is an MBASIC clone
and may work on a Series 200/300.  It is called Philon FAST/BASIC-M and their
address is: 641 Avenue of the Americas
	    New York, New York  10011

I have played with it a little and it does a decent job.  It allows you to 
call C subroutines from BASIC which may give you access to the interfaces.
Contact them for price and availability as well as which machines it runs on.
