C compilers - since you have an IBM PC I'd suggest getting the HiTech C package from Workman & Associates ... a Z80 CP/M ANSI C compiler that runs very well under a MSDOS CP/M emulator (or with a V20). Produces good fast CP/M .com files ... you might be able to run it directly under CP/M 2.2 but it likes a LARGE TPA and doesn't seem to like CP/M+ (Morrow HD), and ran poorly on a borrowed Xerox 820-II CP/M 2.2. Might be OK on a Telewidget?^ For use directly under CP/M, nothing I've found beats Manx Aztec C - overlays, roms, DRI or MicroSoft compatable assembly output; runs stabily. Missing a few of the ANSI extensions and also the bit field but otherwise quite fine. Pricey though. Hope this helps. --- D'Bridge 1.21 * Origin: | Colour Dragon VI | D'Bridge/TBBS | (416)-823-4521| (1:250/1)
