I'm looking for a resonably good public domain C complier or a shareware
compiler. I can't afford the price of a commercial package. I'm new to the
MAC. Can anyone help me? I have a very good PD compiler for the Amiga called
ZC which is also available on the Atari ST, which are all 68000 machines, has
this also been ported to the MAC?
Huw
Any replies will be greatly appreciated

Hi Merv Lynch. If you have got any replies on your question about 'a resonably good public domain C complier or a shareware compiler', would you mind helping me on the same question ? I'm in the same situation as you: 'I can't afford the price of a commercial package.' Thanks in advance. Ole Rasmussen Aalborg University (Denmark) Institute for Electronic Systems.

For all practical purposes, HyperC is freeware. It *still* produces the tightest
C code ion the Mac. It also has built-in OOPs support in the compiler, and a
SmallTalk-like pre-processor. The source code for the entire package may still
be available (used to be $50/module: editor, compiler, assembler, OOPs-pre-processor,
linker-about $250 all told).
I say "practical purposes" because both the author and the distributer have
told me repeatedly that they no longer support it. I can double check for you
(assuming that I can track *either* of them down).
Dave McClain (the author of HyperC) considers Think C to be the easiest C to
use, and you can get the commercial package for less than $100 if you are a
student (or so I've heard).
Do you want me to check with Dave?

I just have to say this:
THINK C can be had for about $150 from mail-order places.
They gladly ship to europe as well, add ~$40 for overnite
shipping. You get the manuals, the original disks, and
the registration form...
It's worth it. Really ! Promise ! No hassle, everything works,
great debugger, etc. If you paid $nnn for your mac, why not
pay just $nnn/(10 or greater) for a good development system ?
