Frank...

The command line version of Turbo-C will run fine on the Z-100.  I beleive 
you have to give it a parameter to tell it to not show the line numbers as
it compiles though.  If you have full memory in your Z-100 I would highly 
recommend you getting ZPC from HUG.  It is only about $45 or so and will let
you run a fair bit of PC software.  I beleive the integrated environment 
will run under ZPC.  I know version 1.0 of Turbo-C will run fine under ZPC.
(I got a PC compatible before I upgraded to ver 2.)

As for pop up utilities I only know of 2.  Perks which you named and
Genie.  I am not sure if the Z-100 version of Genie is still available. 
Both Perks & Genie have most of the utilities found in Sidekick.  If you
are going to get ZPC if you load Perks before ZPC it will pop up in either
Z100 or PC mode.
