Hello chris.

  I really dont know too much about the IIc but as for the IIe and the II+ the
best c compiler is known to be the aztec c. I use this complier and it is quite good. I read some write-ups about this compiler and the bottom line is this:

      language          running time
     ---------------------------------
      applesoft         2000 sec
      apple pascal       500 sec
      aztec c          40,20 sec
     ---------------------------------   

this bench mark was done using the same algorithm for each languages above      (I think it was a prime numbers algorithm). The reason there are two running    time for aztec c is that there are two ways to compile in the aztec c.
The faster time is for compiling in native 6502(which is supposed to use more   memory, but will be of greater use). I read all this long time ago in a magazinelong ago. I am pretty sure I'm right about this but I can't guarentee it. The   aztec c should run on the IIc also.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  As for pascal I use the Apple pascal 1.2. I can't say i really recomend this  compiler. I've heard the Turbo pascal is really good. But you'll have problems  putting a Z80 in your IIc. You'll have to stick to Apple pascal. I hope I was   of some help.
