Recent Fred Fish disks have a number of "C" environments; PDC - Publicly Distributable C NorthC - (based on Sozobon) DICE - Dillon's integrated C environment. How do these compare?? Does anyone have any experience or feeling about these?? Which is best? I come from a Unix C environment and would like the best fit without trying all 3 on my little machine.

Just to add to the confusion, there's also Sozobon-C. It works well enough that I do my A68k development with it. The compiler is a bit slow, and the generated code isn't too compact, but it works well and the price is right. When I have a final version ready to go, I get someone else to compile it with Manx or Lattice and wind up with an executable file about 40% smaller.
