I'm in the market for a C compiler for the Mac and I'm considering the
DeSmet/Ouye development system available from C Ware.  If anyone out
there has had experience with it I'd like to hear about it.  If you can
recommend another (preferably cheap) compiler, that would be nice too.
Send responses by mail; I'll summarize to the net if appropriate.

Northeastern is selling Megamax C for $180 ( + $3 for shipping ).  See
the latest MacWorld for more info.  This is $30 more than DeSmet, but
from conversations with both companies on the phone, it seems worth $30.
The Megamax people seem to know the Mac quite well, whereas the DeSmet
people did not seem to know much.  Also, DeSmet has an IBM PC C compiler,
and it seems to have priority over the Mac product in terms of enhancements
and bug fixes.
