Gnu C is free and ANSI-compliant (fully), and it also works _very_ well
with K&R code (use the -traditional flag). It needs at least a 2 meg
machine, though. With MiNT and the MiNT library, you can port Unix code
practically unmodified (just change a file name here and there, ie.
.emacsrc > emacs.rc).
