Subject: Mix C compiler

Hello,

I just purchased the Mix C compiler and Mix Editor (They come as a
package for $54.95.).  I haven't done too much with them yet, but
they look very good.  The C compiler is a full K&R standard compiler,
with Unix V7 and other extensions.  It's very easy to use.  Once
you have compiled a program, you call the Linker, which can translate
the object file to a COM file or let you run it, or several other
functions.  It will link an object file into either a COM file
which depends upon another file that comes on the C disk, or
you can compile it into a totally independent COM file, which will
be longer than the dependent version.

The Editor is one of the best I've seen.  It can edit two files
at the same time, either on different screens or a split screen,
which can be split horizontally or vertically.  It's a totally
programmable editor, and it can be adapted to almost any purpose.
You can also program macros, and all the control characters, etc.
The editor comes configured just like WordStar, and adapted for
structured program writing (Auto-indent, etc.)

Both of these programs are available for MS-DOS or CP/M-80.
The CP/M version requires 2 disk drives, at least 55k TPA,
and a Z80 CPU.  They work on CP/M 2.2 and higher, and are
available in most of the major disk formats, including 8".

The C compiler comes with a large manual, which includes an
introduction to the compiling/linking process, a tutorial,
a reference manual, a section about the functions, and a section about
the tools.

If you have any questions about it, feel free to write me a message.
I'll try to answer your question.
