The above compiler only runs on the Apple. Manx advertised a version
for the C-64, a long time ago, but couldn't deliver. Probably because
of the brain damaged memory layout (4k chunk used for i/o, 8k for the
OS, etc) the amazingly crude 1541 drive (that little bugger has been
driving me crazy lately, it refuses to handle relative files in a
rational manner!) and the crude nature of the Kernal. They do,
however, sell a C-64 cross compiler, which runs on a "real" computer
producing code for your 64.  Sounds like a drag... edit, compile,
link, download to c64, edit, compile, link.......

Oh well, maybe someday we can all afford Amigas :-).
