Rick:

I have both the BDS and Manx (Aztec II) C compilers for my CP/M system.
For Unix compatibility, I recommend the Manx compiler.  I have written
a fair number of programs which compile and execute without change
under both CP/M and 4.2bsd on VAXen and SUN-2 workstations.  I have
also ported, with minimal effort, several programs originally written
under 4.2bsd.

While the BDS compiler often seems to produce tighter code, I almost
always use the Aztec II compiler because it is much closer to the K&R
standard.  Manx has also recently added a number of the Berkeley
extensions such as "void" declarations.

If someone is interested, I could post a review of the Aztec II compiler.
