Subject: Turbo C

We have recently taken delivery of a used dual-drive Northstar Horizon.  This
unit has a Z80A and 64K of RAM.  The system is currently running CP/M version
2.23a, and has a copy of Turbo Pascal.  I prefer to program in C, and I have 
been wondering: 

       1. Did Borland ever offer Turbo C for CP/M?
       2. If so, is there any way of obtaining a copy, now?  
       3. Are there other C compilers available for this system?

Also, how concerned should we be about the supply of 10-sector diskettes?
So far, it sounds like 3M and Verbatim are still offering them.  The few 
distributors (all mail-order) who still accept orders for them have had 
none in stock; the risk of dead inventory is apparently too great.  Has 
this been other people's experience?  My project manager has been joking 
about punching our own holes with a straight pin.

My apologies to the members of the NORTHSTAR-USERS mailing list, who have 
already seen this posting; I wanted to reach as broad an applicable group
as possible.  Thank you.
