I just got the Aztec C compiler version 1.06f. 

Just imagine my surprise when I found that this compiler is one
of those state of the art "8 character significant" name compilers.
This basicly means that the Aztec C compiler is useless for our code
which often has defines, variables, and function names unique only after
16 characters. (it makes reading the code so much better) We have used
Aztec's compiler for the IBMpc and it has 31 characters significant, so
why is the Mac's so dumb. They said they're fixing it the next release
but the guy I talked to had no idea as to when (phone back in November,
we might know then).

Anyway, does any know of a Mac C compiler with 16 or greater character 
significance?? Needless to say I will be returning the Aztec compiler and
I would like to get something I can use.
