Look into BDS C - it is not standard and lacks a number of C 
constructs (externs, initializations), but it is a PLEASURE!!!
to work with. It is reliable and compiles like lightning. Also,
there is a symbolic debugger available in the public domain (or 
from the C user's group). 
I have also had experience with Whitesmith's - it is complete, 
but not quite standard (putfmt instead of printf, etc). It is
SLOW as mollasses - 4 huge files to load for each compile.
Also I know of no debugger available at the source code level.
Let me hear your how you make out or if you need further info.
