[...] I have heard that MIX C is slow, and has a *huge* run-time package. I've been using BDS C, which works pretty well, but the i/o is non-standard. It has a few other shortcomings, some of which have been quite irritating, but all-in-all, it works. I've a friend who's been using Ecosoft C (for Z80), and rates it quite highly. It's not cheap, but it's apparently pretty good.
