Try Mark Williams C. It has long variable names and enums as well as
structure passing, large arrays and functions, and accurate floating
point. If you put MWC's /lib and /tmp directories on a ram disk
(needs 1 meg to do this) the compile times are close to MegaMax. And
the new (version 2.1.7) manual from MWC is one of the better resources
for programming on GEMDOS/TOS that I've seen.
NOTE: I am a beta-tester for MWC, so my opinions are somewhat biased.
I became a beta-tester for them AFTER buying 3 other C compilers for
the ST and getting burned every time (including MegaMax).
