Hello, I had read BYTE 1983 vol. 8 num. 8. about C compilers. I found that Aztec C is the best in all CP/M-based C compilers. Aztec C require to MAC to assemble files into objects that Aztec C creates. In Super C128 don't require that assembler to re-assemble files into object files. I decided that Super C128 is better for my Commodore 128. C128 costs 59.95 and is avaliable at Most Bookseller's Software Ect. Our nearby mall have the large good Bookseller Software Ect that sells Super C128. It must be popular! Many people bought them the same! I missed to buy it! -- Tim Stark

Before you make a decision on whether to buy Super-C 128 or Aztec C,
I must remind you that you are actually comparing apples and oranges here.
Aztec C is a CP/M compiler, and generates code for the CP/M mode of the
128 (the special 128 version can also generate code for the 64 or 128 mode).
Super-C 128 is a 128 mode C compiler, and generates code for the 128 mode
only.
In short, make sure you know whether you want a CP/M compiler or a 128
mode compiler before you buy one, since they are ttwo separate things
Actually, the Aztec C version for the 128 would be perfect, since it compiles
for all three modes, but the price is a bit steep compared to the
alternatives...
