PowerC can be purchased from Mix Software, 1-800-333-0330, list price $20,
but only $16.00 for educational users.  The debugger is sold separately.
But I don't recommend it, unless you are on a very tight budget.  It has
problems handling  f(x)  where f is pointer-to-function (prefers (*f)(x)),
and has problems with const too (const char *p; p=q <<-- complains about
that even though p is not const, just *p).
