For $19.95, I find it hard to beat Power C from Mix Software. The manual that
comes with this compiler has a good tutorial; I found it useful when I first
set out to learn C. It is not the most powerful compiler I've used, but it's
a good general purpose one and I've used it to write a number of utilities.
