I am planning to get a C compiler, and would appreciate your comments
and suggestions on which compiler I should buy.  In particular:
  a. comparative efficiency of object code produced ( time and space )
  b. Completeness of the implementation ( I know C is not standardized...)
  c. Known bugs.
  d. Compatability with public domain C programs.  ( It looks like most
     of these are Lattice dialect...)
  d. Should I get the "Developer's version," "Personal version," or what?
     I am not planning to be a developer and write DeLuxe Paint, but I am
     a proficient 68000 assembly programmer, and it seems you must buy an
     upscale version to get the assembler.
