There is a low cost C compiler advertised in Call APPLE, I don't know the company name right offhand, though. Aztec C on the Apple is about the same as the IBM version. You don't get Lint or Make with the Apple version but the source code is completely compatible. This is nice when developing for several different systems. There is a library of Apple specific functions that are not portable however. If you want portable code, avoid using them or be prepared to rewrite when you do the port. Rick Fincher ranger@ecsvax
