  Well, there's tiny-C, which is PD, and a version from _Code Works_
which might be. Neither have f.p., and even after a beating on the code
generator it was not more than adequate. 

  Some of our summer students hacked the CW version to generate 8051
code. Now's there's a hack for you! The original PC, powered by
battery, DC-to-DC power for the four digit hex LEDs, 16 button hex
keyboard, code in convenient ROM burned on a 32k CP/M "mainframe."

  Those were the days...
