Mix C for CP/M is a victim of terminal neglect. It does more things wrong than right. While the MSDOS version has undergone many revisions in the past year, the CP/M version remains virtually untouched. All sorts of problems with blanks, unexpected reserved words, undocumented error codes, runtime anomalies, etc. Forget trying to port any non-trivial program to Mix C, you're wasting your time.

Subject: Is MIX C still available for cp/m?
Message-ID: <EC593BC31F3FA008AC@ucs.uwplatt.edu>
Hello everyone,
Some time ago someone on this newsgroup mentioned a C compiler by MIX Software
for cp/m. Does anyone know if this compiler is still available? As I recall,
the package was around $25US and included a book on C, does anyone have any
other details to share? Your assistance is appreciated.

Hello Lance, yes I'm the one with the MIX C compiler (CP/M
version) for sale. Yes, it includes and excellent C tutorial in
the 430 page manual. The price is $20.00 plus $5.00 for S&H (UPS
ground in the continental US). I will quote shipping charges to
other areas.
The MIX C compiler is a full K & R implementation of the C
language. The system requirements are:
CP/M-80 (2.0 or higher)
55K memory
2 disk drives (or HD)
Z80 CPU
I can install the software on many UNIFORM supported 5.25", CP/M
disk formats, but the only ones that I can test are TeleVideo and
360K IBM formats. If you can transfer the files from one of
those, I suggest you order in that format. I can also arrange
for you to download the software from my BBS. Feel free to send
e-mail or call for additional information. Take care.

Is MIX C still available? Can it be gotten via mail-order or does it have
to be bought from the manufacturer? Any information about where to get it
or comments about the compiler are welcome.

Ben,
Yes, MIX C compiler is still available and you can get it from
me. The price is $20.00 plus $5.00 S&H for either the CP/M or
the IBMPC version or $30.00 for both. The manual alone is well
worth the price.
If you're interested in ordering or for additional info, contact
me at any address below. Take care.
