It's my opinion that APW C generates VERY POOR code and it has almost no
possibilities of an optimizer. It's reasonably compatable with the PCC
compiler and is definitely NOT ANSI compatable.

As for Byteworks ORCA/C, it has PARTIAL ANSI compatability and as I've
mentioned before that it is too buggy to use right now.

Those are the only two C compilers specifically for the gs. Manx has a C
compiler that will generate 6502 code for ProDOS or DOS 3.3.
