Subject: Aztec C

Aztec C is a good overall C Compiler, though BDS C is better
for those who like all sorts of neat goodies like a symbolic debugger
and a package that is easier to use.  Aztec is slightly faster in execution
to BDS C and can work with M80/L80 stuff.  It compiles MUCH faster
than Whitesmiths (A monkey could hand-compile code faster than 
whitesmiths.)  For further time information on both compilation
and interpretation, see my articles in November/December 1981
and Jan/Feb 1982 for reviews of BDS C and Whitesmiths, and Nov/Dec 1982
for reviews of Aztec and C/80.

Overall, I prefer to program in BDS, but if I needed full C usage
including register variables, I would use Aztec without a second
thought.
