Think twice about getting BDS C: it may compile very fast, but it is
non-standard enough to make porting a pain. If you have no intention of
ever recompiling your code on another system that's fine, otherwise...

More standard low price compilers for CP/M are C/80 with Mathpak
(produces very efficient code) and Q/C (comes with source code!) among
others. MIX C was been prematurely anounced at $39.95 three months ago
and they aren't shipping yet (hmm...).

Check the C compiler reviews in Dr. Dobbs, Byte and Computer Language
for some very complete info.
