The reason I posted this to the net is that most of you reading this
are now developing under the *nix environment.  Many of you who may
have bought a 'real legal' copy of the Aztec C compiler no longer use
or need it.  I'm simply offering an oportunity for someone to re-coup
a little of their investment by selling a tool they no longer need.

As it turns out, I ran out of time and so have purchased my own copy
directly.  However, I've received requests from others to turn over
any 'extra' leads to them.

As for MIX C, I've also heard that it's worthless for serious work.
I have tried it, along with SuperSoft, Ecco, and BDS.  None are full
implementations of C (at least in the versions I've got).
