[comp.os.cpm] C compiler

Request for a C Compiler:
------------------------

I am EXCEEDINGLY happy with the very cheap MIX-C compiler.

I use it on the Z80/CP/M Lobo Max-80 to develop software at home, which has
always been ported without a flaw to my MS-DOS machine, and to our IBM=VM
(Waterloo C compiler), VAX-VMS and Unix machines.

The book only that comes with it would cost more than the package, if you would
go to a store to purchase similar material.

I may have been happy, but I never had any problem in 2 years.

MIX-Software used to carry many formats, and their phone is
1-800-333-0330

I already wrote in this discussion several months ago that the 19.95$ MIX-C
compiler does all my CP/M work and that I never had any problems with it
including K&R compatibility.

Somebody just noted here that MIX doesn't advertise their CP/M products any
more. They do advertise their MS-DOS ones though, phone them and ask for the
CP/M stuff.
If they say they don't market it any more, ask them for the permission to
copy mine (free) and send me their written authorization. Out of the 400
pages manual (tutorial, C reference manual, l{rary, operations manual) I will
also Xerox the CP/M dependent part (special functions and operating instruc-
tions).

Is there a decent public-domain C compiler out there?  A friend of mine is
looking for one, but so far, he has had no luck.

  Well, there's tiny-C, which is PD, and a version from _Code Works_
which might be. Neither have f.p., and even after a beating on the code
generator it was not more than adequate. 

  Some of our summer students hacked the CW version to generate 8051
code. Now's there's a hack for you! The original PC, powered by
battery, DC-to-DC power for the four digit hex LEDs, 16 button hex
keyboard, code in convenient ROM burned on a 32k CP/M "mainframe."

  Those were the days...

I own an Amstrad CPC6128 which runs CP/M Plus (61K TPA, 180K disks). I
can read most other 5.25" CP/M disk formats to import data/programs.

I am looking for a C compiler for my machine.  Requirements: Moderately
fast, Moderately good, Fairly cheap, minimum of K&R standard.
 
Does anyone have any comments, recommendations, or suggestions.  Any
contact addresses, or prices would be appreciated.

I have heard that the Mix C compiler (CP/M version) is quite good, but I
don't have a contact address, or a current price.  Does anyone else?

Please post to the net, or mail suggestions to the address below (the
header may be wrong).

Thanks in advance, Ewen McNeill.
