     Just to add to the confusion, there's also Sozobon-C.  It
works well enough that I do my A68k development with it.  The
compiler is a bit slow, and the generated code isn't too compact,
but it works well and the price is right.  When I have a final
version ready to go, I get someone else to compile it with Manx
or Lattice and wind up with an executable file about 40% smaller.
