You forgot Computer Innovations C86; it too will run under Xenix (or at least
their Xenix version), and cross compile for Xenix or MS DOS.  As someone
posted recently, CII C86 produces slightly larger code than MS C, but it too
supports ANSI style argument parsing and medium model.  It too is very UNIX
oriented (it is developed on a UNIX machine); I have no problem porting
anything across.  It also has options to make symbols 8-char or 31-char
significant.  It is better than Latice C, so on the scale above I would
rank it 1.5.
