If you like Unix-like development environment you should also consider the
DeSmet/Ouye C complier from C-Ware Corp.  

It includes:

	Complete K&R implementation
	(supports 1-6 on you list possibly 7)
	Transparent access to the ROMToolbox
	Linker, Librarian, & Assembler
	Unix-like shell (history commands, batch files etc)
	Screen editor, and a few examples
	Video Game (MacBugs!), RamDisk etc.

	All for $150 

I like it better than my roommates Mac C. He hates Unix and likes Mac C 
better.  I have found that it the fastest system to complete an edit, compile,
link, execute cycle because you can fit everything onto a RAMDISK on a 512K Mac
I think it is very comparable to Manx/Aztec at 1/3 the cost.
