Unless BDS C was completely rewritten lately (which I strongly doubt!)
it is NOT written in itself, other than the upper level I/O library
functions.  BDS C is written in assembler -- that's why it's so
blindingly fast.  When I used to work with CP/M a lot, I found that
fast compilation and loading was more important to me than many
other language features -- I just didn't have time to sit around waiting
for long compiles/assemblies on a single-process machine.  

BDS C is exceptionally fast to compile and load and is an excellent
product.
