Some time ago there was a request for information/review of the various CP/M C
compilers.  I would like to see a posting of the various compilers with
their pros and cons.  I would be happy to collect this info and post a 
summary, but I suspect this has alread been done (maybe I missed it?).

I have used the Aztec compiler with complete satisfaction, MIX is a new one,
I have the BDS 1.50 compiler sitting on the shelf and have not yet given it
a try.  I have some projects up and coming where I will want to ROM the code,
any suggestions on whether Aztec or BDS would be better for this?  Actually
any hints on ROMing C code for a Z80 controller kind of project would be
happily accepted.
