Due to a recent lab aquisition, I find myself}i in need of a C compiler to
run on the Mac SE. I have been using the Microsoft QuickC and full-blown
MSC in the DOS environment.
What is available for the Mac? Does anyone have any suggestions or warnings?
What about the availability of function libraries?
Thanks in advance.

MPW (Apple's Macintosh Programmer's Workshop, available through Apple developer services) offers a very comprehensive C compiler and programming environment for the Mac. It's major drawback is that, like most extensive and customizible environments, it takes a fair degree of committment to learn (refer to the book by Joel West on MPW). LightSpeed C by Symantec is has an excellent C compiler and a source level debugger - HIGHLY recommended!

I'll agree with the recommendation, but LightSpeed C is from THINK Technologies Inc / 420 Bedford St / Suite 350 / Lexington MA 02173. When I need to use a tiny machine, this is the language that I use. (Normally, however, I use assembly language on a PDP-10 mainframe.)
