I'm looking for a good version of C for the Apple.  I have a 3.5 inch drive,
a Laser 128ex (3.6MHz), and a 256K ramcard in slot 5.  The usual mouse,
built in drive, modem, etc...  I want to write routines in C, compile them,
and use the object code generated as a program under Prodos.  

I need to be able to use very fast code under prodos for a project I'm
working on.  I would use pascal if I found a version that worked under
Prodos with a minimum of necessary memory taken up.  But I need to learn
C for a class here at school anyway.

I had Hyper C, but didn't know how to get started using the c language,
and quickly became irritated trying to write a program on the 
tiny space alloted on the system disk.  I want something that can make
use of a 3.5 inch drive.

So, are there any good C compilers under Prodos that are cheap (read
poor college student).  

tanks in advance - Mike.
