I don't know about the amiga, but there are 2 under-$100 c compilers for the
520ST, and these people will almost certainly do amiga ports by christmas.
I also hear of an ST modula compiler in that price range (still vaporware at
this date).

If you can't afford $100 for a c compiler you should not consider a $2000
computer.  I vote source-only.  Binaries hide software piracy, do not permit
learning, do not allow for modificationm, and are not portable.
