If you are interested in a reasonable C compiler, at very low cost,
you might consider Power C from Mix software for $19.95. It comes with
a function library and a thick manual.
The main difference between it and Borland C is that Borland includes
a fancy-pants debugger (which I never have used), and that the Borland
compiler compiles much faster (although the execution speed is similar).
