I'm trying to decide which C compiler to buy. I already have
personal pascal and the ABACUS books, so I don't know that I need the
documentation in the developers kit; especially if the book in December
is reasonably cheap.
I do need a full K&R implemenation, since I will be moving some
large codes which use most of the language features. I'm also a Unix
hack, so a system with CC/Make would be nice. (I would also like a
nice GEM interface like OSS Pascal :-)
As I understand it, the choices are Lattice C at around 150$,
MegaMax C at around 200$ and the developers kit at 300$.
I would be interested in comparisons of the three systems, in
particular as to compiler speed, completeness and robustness.
If you reply directly to me, I will summarize.
Thanks in advance.
Marty
