Subject: CPM C Compilers

I needed an inexpensive C compiler for my Z80 CP/M system; I considered
BDS C, but had to reject it because it did not permit initializers.
Most of my code ends up as Finite-State-Machines, which requires an
initialized state-table.

I purchased C/80 from the Software Toolworks; it works fine, except for its
non-stdio library (I am considering writing a new library). For the price
($50), C/80 is an excellent product.
