Being a poor student upgrading to an IBM-compatible, I jumped at Power C.
I'm reasonably happy with it.  It is an effective, working command-line
based C compiler.  I have been using it for my class assignments, prior
to uploading the finished programs to a VAXStation for final testing.
The ANSI compatibility is acceptable, and the libraries seem more complete
than those in gcc on the VAXStation.  Power C is not particularily fast,
it's not unusually ANSI conformant, and it does not have the latest user
interface, but it's cheap, and it works.
