I recommend Aztec C65 from Manx Software Systems,
somewhere in New Jersey (I have several different addresses
for them).  Their ads appear in several home computer
journals; try especially the IBM PC and Macintosh mags.
Their latest Apple II release (V1.05C) runs under DOS 3.3;
they have a ProDOS version currently undergoing testing
(it promises to be a really nice environment, especially
for users with disks larger than Disk IIs).  Aztec C65
implements practically all of K&R (including floating-point)
under any combination of native 6502 code (for speed) and
interpreter (for small size); the ProDOS version will have
void data types, (void *) generic pointers, struct assignment,
etc.  A UNIX-like subset shell, graphics library, and utilities
(including a visual editor) are included.  The ProDOS package
is advertised as supporting cross-development of programs to
run under DOS 3.3, which seems perfectly feasible to me, but
that part appears not to be ready for testing yet.  You can
supposedly also purchase cross-development Aztec C to run on
systems such as UNIX, producing Apple II downloadable code.
