	Thanks to all for responses to my query.

	I thought I'd pass on the results of phone conversations with two
CP/M 80 C compiler vendors.

1)	the latest release of Aztec C is 1.06d.  According to the vendor,
	it is System V compatible with respect to all the pre-processor
	directives (I didn't ask whether they had bit-fields yet).

	(The pre-processor stuff is important if you like Fred Fish's 
	DBUG program posted on the network a little while ago.)

2)	the latest release of the Eco-C compiler is 3.47.  They too men-
	tioned support for System V pre-processor directives.  The person
	I talked to would not guarentee that a "bug" I was told was in
	their CP/M 80 C compiler had been fixed.  (He says that K&R say
	that there is supposed to be a space between the function name and
	the left paran.)
	(or at least that there is some scripture somewhere which justifies
	their not making a change)

	Thanks again for your replies.  We still have not made any commit-
ments so any additional information will be appreciated.
