If you're not doing graphics, you don't need the graphical library,
the expensive item you were thinking of.

NeXT's compiler no longer generates ANSI C inso far as I'm aware, but
all of Stepstone's compilers do. Everything you want to do is quite
possible on nearly any machine, the only exception being NeXT should 
be (who chose to super-optimize the compiler, for their own presumably
good and sufficient reasons).
