I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I only started playing
with IBM clones 2 weeks ago.

I was in a bookstore at lunch today and saw a C compiler called "Let's C"
by Mark Williams Company.  It caught my eye because of the price - it was
only $67.50 (retails for $75)!  It had quotes from two recent reviews in
Byte and PC Tech Journal (favorable, of course).  My question:  Can it do
everything it claims to do - i.e. "Full Kernigan & Ritchie C and extensions;
Full UNIX compatibility and complete libraries"?  I mean, it seems like a
steal next to the MEGABUCKS Microsoft C compiler.

Has anybody used Let's C?  Anybody like it?  Thanks.
