Subject: C compilers and random flames

Before said random flames cause confusion, C-86 is indeed NOT a CP/M 2.2
compiler, but works instead under CP/M-86 <<and>> MS-DOS/PC-DOS, with the
later version having switches for 80286 optimization.  It really won't
meet the needs of a 2.2 user.

BDS-C is an excellent system, but is unfortunately not one of the 'standard'
compilers (meaning that code from Un*x version whatever won't cross without
substantial effort).  But the price is hard to beat.  Walt Bilofsky has a 
CP/M-based C compiler and will shortly release the MS-DOS version.  His 
Software Toolworks, Inc. has a reputation for good software at very good 
prices.
