	It depends on what sort of compiler you want.  When PC Magazine did
its reviews on C compilers Power C was not rated very high.  (Of course,
neither was Turbo C, but that was version 1.5, and 2.0 is much better than
what they reviewed.)  Turbo C, although it costs from $100 to $250 is well
worth it because it has an integrated debugger ($100), and on the
Professional Edition ($250) it also includes an Assembler and a standalone
Debugger.
