Although not public domain, or even shareware, the Mix "Power C"
compiler is the next best thing. This is an ANSI-compliant C compiler
for 19.95! Anyone wanting C on a budget should probably check it out.
I have used Power C for some time and am very satisified with this
product. It supports small, medium, and large memory models as well
as "huge" (>64K) data types. Source-level debugger is an additional
19.95, library source is 10.00. Low-cost windowing and database libraries
are also available.
The only negative thing I have found using the Mix tools is that
the "Ctrace" debugger is limited to 64K symbol table space; unfortunately
this quickly fills up when debugging programs having large numbers of
structures and/or global variables. This is a shame as the debugger
appears to be very good aside from this limitation.
The compiler can be ordered direct from Mix at 1-800-333-0330. I have
no connection with that company except as a satisfied customer.
