I have been informed that the GNU compiler is actually a UN*X realm animal. Does anyone have (or know of) a PD/Shareware C compiler for AT type machines? I'd like public domain, but I'd be willing to tryout and possibly invest in something shareware if it's good. I'm trying to learn this language without too big an investment :-). jbjones@marlin.nosc.mil

There's 'Small-C', which is a (fairly complete, but not completely) public-domain compiler. It usually comes with its own source code, and can even compile itself. I have the impression that there is a book on compiler design written around the design of this Small-C compiler. The other is called 'PCC' and is shareware. I doubt it includes its own source. I don't really know much about this one. Both can probably be found on 'the signpost', a bulletin board up here (206 area code, western Washington state...). If you want the Signpost's number ask me. I don't know about FTP sites. (And Mark Williams sells a good compiler (ok compiler, very good manual!) for about $75, I think.
