	I had the same problem (looking for a good 6809 C compilier).
I have my own business, so I was looking for an inexpensive one (at first).
I checked out 
	WINTEK
	1801 South St. Lafayette In. 47904 (800) 742-6809.
	They are ok, with a small library. I think the price was about $900.
	2500AD
	po box 480 Buena Vista, CO. 80017 (719) 395-8683.
	They are cheap (500) + $150 for a 6809 simulator.  I had
	nothing but problems, and the code was not effecient AT ALL.
	and INTROL
	647 W virginia ST, Milwaukee, Wi. 53204 (414) 276-2937.
	The compilier is 2000 and a source level debugger/simulator is 1000.
	It generates excellent code (1 test program of 7 lines of C code was
	about 35 lines of assembler with 2500AD and 9 lines of assembler with
	INTROL!)

	I actually purchased the 2500 AD product after deciding I couldn't
	afford more.  After 3 days of ZERO PRODUCTIVITY, I sent it back.
	I then gladly spent $3,000 for the INTROL c compilier, assepbler,
	and source level debugger, and have not regretted it since.
