Are you kidding?  I just bought copies of Aztec C for Apple ProDOS and
CP/M from Manx three weeks ago.  When I called, a woman answered the phone
in a professional manner, had never heard of what I wanted and passed me
along to another woman who was very helpful.  She said they BOTH compilers
in stock, and I had them in my hand 7 days later (shipped UPS ground).
She did admit that she didn't know anyone was still using Apple CP/M, though.

I've called their technical support BBS sevaral times, and it seems to be
active, and it still answers the phone as "Manx".
