From the commercial side, the two I can remember are the BDS C compiler & and the Mix C compiler. On the public domain side there is the Ron Cain Small C compiler and its updated version by Van Zant. .....paul Paul Zemancheff PHONE: +61 3 487 9271 CSIRO Division of ACSNET or CSNET: paz@mimir.dmt.oz Manufacturing Technology, ARPA: paz%mimir.dmt.oz@uunet.uu.net Melbourne, Australia.

Can't remember the exact address, so mail me if you're interested. It's simply brilliant, it supports all sorts of things like function prototypes, structure assignment, void, typecast etc etc. About all is doesn't support is bit fields, and they're a kludge anyway. And it runs under CP/M, generating true Z-80 code! My Microbee has never been the same since... "date", "echo", "cat", "rm" etc etc. It's also locally supported, which is a good thing, and cheap. $250 will get you the Z80 version. I believe there is also a Messy-Dog version, and possibly even a cross compiler. Anyone else remember the address? -- Dave Horsfall (VK2KFU), Alcatel-STC Australia, dave@stcns3.stc.oz dave%stcns3.stc.OZ.AU@uunet.UU.NET, ...munnari!stcns3.stc.OZ.AU!dave

Other C compilers available for the cp/m z80 systems are:
Hitech C
Aztec C
Both of these are/were commercially available, but I am not sure from where.

I've worked with most of these in prom (not cpm) environs as well as the whitesmiths and two companies that are now out of business. By far the best was the Vandata C compiler but they aren't in business any more and I don't personally own a copy.
