1. There are several PD C compilers. Look into the Fish disks:
   DICE, SZC, PDC (even more?).
2. Lattice-C is SAS-C now. It's far from a bad thing, it's the compiler
   most of the Amiga's system is written in! It's a big one, though. What
   your people see as bugs, are perhaps only features not enough under-
   stood by them. It's not to be learnt in a quarter of an hour.
