Lester, who convinced you that APW C was unusable?  Admittedly it has had its
problems--that is to be expected, since it was released in Beta-test form so
we could start USING it.  Version 1.0 has now been shipped to APDA (although
it doesn't appear in the catalog yet).  I'm using 1.0B7 APW C, and I find it
perfectly usable.  Not perfect--there are a couple of obscure problems in the
".h" files and the library, and a problem with "\p" (an extension for creating
Pascal strings)--but these are minor problems and have been fixed in 1.0.

As far as I know, APW C is the only C compiler for the IIgs (under ProDOS 16,
generating OBJ files, I mean).

BTW--the fact that APW C 1.0 has been sent to APDA comes from notes in the
APPDEV conference on CompuServe.
