That's about the size of it too - a learning tool.  Mix C for CP/M is a victim
of terminal neglect.  It does more things wrong than right.  While the MSDOS
version has undergone many revisions in the past year, the CP/M version
remains virtually untouched.  All sorts of problems with blanks, unexpected
reserved words, undocumented error codes, runtime anomalies, etc.  Forget
trying to port any non-trivial program to Mix C, you're wasting your time.

PS. I'd be glad to sell my Mix C compiler/book to any sucker who'd give me $39
    for it:-}
