It is available from 'egghead software' for $54.

Full K&R: Yes + enum and void.

Unix Libraries: YES, lots of them. It has something called ececall which is 
like execev + system, and the stdio library, + more.

I have used the Lets C compiler. A friend of mine bought it at a bookstore
for $54. This version only supports < 64k memory models. This included
examples, egrep, MicroEmacs (with source), assembler, linker (with user made
library support).

I understand that a development package for around $350 includes the ability
to expand past the 64k limit. It also includes a symbolic debugger, and more
unix like programs. The same manual is included with both versions, the shaded
pages only apply to the development system.
