Subject: IBM PC C compilers

Greetings.  I appreciate the fact that INFO-CPM isn't exactly 
the best place for this query, but given the nebulous state of
INFO-MICRO it seemed like a reasonable choice...

I'm looking for any information regarding the "best" C compiler
currently existing for the IBM PC.

I need to know:

1) Is the language implementation complete?
2) Does it generate reasonable code?
3) Does it compile with reasonable speed?
4) Does it generate object code or assembler source?
5) Is its stdio library complete?
6) Which OS does it run under?
7) Etc...

You probably know the sorts of issues I'm concerned about.  Any
information would be appreciated.  Thanks much.
