[comp.sources.wanted] C for cbm64

                   C & Assembler on the cbm-64
			Please help me!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am programming C on a UNIX-system. It naturally would be nice 
to be able to use C at home too. Therefore I would be really
greatful if someone told me the name of a polite, fast and compatible
C-compiler on the cbm-64. I've borrowed one, but it is really driving
me crazy. It is not compatible with any other C-compiler on any computer.
It doesn't even handle simple tasks as 'char s[]' , 'getc()' and 'puts()'
correctly. 

One other thing I've wanted for long, is an advanced, capable and 
standardized ASSEMBLER for the cbm-64. I'd be most thankful if anyone
would give me names on such ones. I've got one ASSEMBLER, but it
doesn't even follow the 6502/6510-standard assembly code.

If there by any chance would exist "public domain" programs
on the above mentioned, then I'd really like to SWAP!!!!

I'm not sure which compiler you're talking about but there are only
two C compilers available for the C-64: Power C (C-Power) by Spinnaker
and Super C by Abacus.  I've tried Super C and really didn't like it
(I don't remember why though).  Now I have Power C and it seems to
be pretty nice.  It seems to adhere to the K&R standard.  I've heard
of some of the bugs but they aren't that significant.  Also, it seems
that all the users on this news uses C-Power.  So getting help and
feedback is really a plus.

Also, you mentioned the need of an assembler for the 6502/6510.  Well,
you're in luck.  Mark Rinfret has written a 6502 assembler for the c64
in the C-Power environment.  The program is public domain is comparable
is many professional ones.

Hope this has helped.
