There are several C compilers out in the mainframe world.  

The three that I know of are:
	1) Whitesmith's / IBM C 
		(IBM licenses and sells it, Whitesmith develops it, and
		 sells it as well.)
	2) Waterloo C
		(I don't know much about it, except that it's low cost, and
		has quick compilation; used by several universities)
	3) SAS / Lattice C
		(This is the package we use for our product development on
		VM/CMS and MVS/TSO.  A very good package; very robust runtime
		library, similar to UNIX's.)

We've used both the SAS and Whitesmith's compiler in the past, but now we
only use SAS.  By the way, none of the compilers have a CICS interface that
I know of, but with SAS, you can write assembler "glue" routines to get to
the CICS routines, if you want. I think that there are some SAS C users out
there who are doing that.
