Manx Software Systems (PO Box 55, Shrewsbury NJ 07701)
has just released Aztec C for the Apple ][ under ProDOS
(also supports cross-development for DOS 3.3).  I have
a copy of this and recommend it if you have enough disk
(can be used with 2 floppy drives, but that involves a
large amount of disk-swapping).  The compiler compiles
somewhat slowly (I usually go get a cup of coffee while
I wait) but produces good code, either native instruction
set (for speed) or interpreted (for small size).  A CPU
accelerator would speed up compilation significantly.
The "commercial" package C65-C also includes a shell and
several utilities, such as grep, diff, and ved (vi-like
editor).  The C library is pretty much like 7th Edition
UNIX's; I haven't had much trouble porting some of my
UNIX applications to the Apple using Aztec C.
