I'm going to be porting a large C program from Unix to the
Mac.  What's the compiler of choice?  Contenders are MPW and
Think/Lightspeed.  

I have a leaning towards Think based on very good experiences 
with their Pascal compiler.  I don't know much about MPW 
except that it sounds more like a Unix environment.

Another question:

Is there any way to get around the 32K limit on data structures?
I need to handle a BIG array with no natural way to break it up 
that doesn't cost me a lot of efficiency.

Please e-mail me;  I'll summarize to the net.
