Well I think the subject line says most of it but anyway...
Does anyone know where I can get a GOOD compiler (not something like the
Small C compiler which I have and don't like). This should run under CP/M 3.0+
on a Commodore 128. I would also prefer that it compiled to the extended Z80
mnemonics but that's not THAT important. I also would prefer that it did NOT
work like Small C. ie. c program -> assembler program -> .REL files -> link'em.
That is a pain in the *ss. (and I don't even have an assembler which can
assemble .MAC files in the format that Small C produces so Small C is useless
to me).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

It's supposed to be fully K&R compatible. I worked with Turbo Pascal a lot and if Turbo C is anything like it, it should be a must have. Does anyone know anything about Turbo C for the CP/M OS?

[munch munch munch...] The Small-C compiler should come with the necssary programs to fully compile and link your creations. I have the complete package which produces Z80 code but alas contains minimal docs on the assembler Zmac and the linker Zlink. Although Small-C is definately a small subset of C, I find the libraries and doc files excellent for the price, $10. If the programs for Zmac and Zlink are needed, I will upload them to whoever knows how to put them in the SIMTEL libraries, assuming they are not there already.

I'd suggest contacting MANX Software Systems for their Aztec C compiler for the C128. I know many of people using their Amiga version, and they like it quite a bit. All of the larger machine versions come with linkers, so I'd expect to find a linker and everything else you need with the C128 version. As I recall, the C128 version runs in CP/M mode, but will actually produce compiled code for CP/M, C128, or C64 modes. Your best bet would be to call them: the numbers I have are (800)221-0440, or (201)542-2121 and they can probably answer all you questions. Amiga versions of the compiler go from $199 to $499 depending on the utilities, etc. and the version of the compiler you get. I'd expect the C128 versions to be in the same ballpark. (DISCLAIMER: I've got no ties to MANX, they won't even send me kickbacks) > Chris -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Haynie Commodore Technology // /| ___ __ __ __ {ihnp4|caip|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh |\ // /_| | / \ / \ / \ Commodore rarely admits to knowing me, \\// / | +--+ | | | | | | much less sharing my personal opinions. \/ / | |___ \__/ \__/ \__/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
