There is a compiler available in the  UK  which  I  think  is  excellent
value. Don't know if you can get it in the USA, but it would be about as
cheap to fly over here and buy it..-)

It  is  called  Zorland  C  (yes,  that's a Z), and it does small model,
Lattice compatible code for starters. It compiles 2 to 3 times the speed
of Lattice, generates tighter (and generally  faster)  code,  and  links
faster  due  to a tighter library. It comes with ZC (like CC, drives the
whole compilation including LINK and EXE2BIN if required), a good  MAKE,
TOUCH, and source to 7 small utilities (PR, WC, MORE, etc.)

Also  included is a tutorial with programs on disk. Language is K&R plus
const/volatile types, enumerated  types,  structure  assignment,  voids,
function prototyping and implicit casts.

All this is (sterling) 29.95.

If you want the other memory models, you must buy the Developers Upgrade
which  also  includes  full library source (yes, all of it including the
assembler bits). This is an extra 19.95.

Object files are normal .OBJ.

I have one, I've hammered it and I like it.
