Ahhhh, the memories this brings back.
I first learned C on my old IMSAI-8080 that had CP/M 2.2 with BDS C.
I bought BDS C for (I think) $150 from Lifeboat Associates (can't
remember the phone #).  It wasn't a full K&R C, it didn't have float
or double types, and I think it didn't support struct's -- pretty
watered down C!
BTW, "BDS" stood for "Brain Damaged Software."
