($30 & $15 the last time I checked.) I believe Power C is a better deal. But, Super C is usable. It does have a few features Power C doesn't. The two bigest problems I have with Super C is you can only link a limited number of routines and it is copy protected. (If it isn't worth backing up, it's not worth using; so I use Power C.) >If you are really interested in programming in C for the 128 try CP/M >mode.

There are several C compilers for CP/M. There are two public domain compilers that can be accessed from Simtel20 by FTP or a mail server. These AREN'T full K&R compilers. There are several comerical compilers. Below is part of an article from comp.cpm regarding one of them. }Also, I sell the MIX 'C' compiler for CP/M. It is a full K & R }implementation of the 'C' language that comes with a }tutorial/manual which, in my opinion, alone is worth the price }of the package. Price of the package is $20.00 plus $5.00 for }S&H in the USA (CA must add sales tax). It's a true bargain for }the beginning and intermediate 'C' language programmer. Since I }support TeleVideo CP/M systems on my BBS, I only 'stock' the }software on TeleVideo (5.25" DD,DS) formatted disks. If you }cannot transfer to your disk format, I can put the software on }almost any UNIFORM supported format for $2.50 per disk (2 disks) }or I can arrange for you to download the software from the BBS }directly to your computer. } Ed Grey \*\ Sysop of The Grey Matter BBS & RCP/M 213-971-6260 } P.O.
