Check out the Hi Tech C Compiler, from some place in Brisbane.  Can't remember
the exact address, so mail me if you're interested.  It's simply brilliant,
it supports all sorts of things like function prototypes, structure assignment,
void, typecast etc etc.  About all is doesn't support is bit fields, and
they're a kludge anyway.

And it runs under CP/M, generating true Z-80 code!  My Microbee has never been
the same since... "date", "echo", "cat", "rm" etc etc.

It's also locally supported, which is a good thing, and cheap.  $250 will get
you the Z80 version.  I believe there is also a Messy-Dog version, and possibly
even a cross compiler.  Anyone else remember the address?
