I've done some research on this issue, and it seems that Manx's Aztec C
is THE C compiler for the IIe, but has anybody out there used it to
do anything substantial?  If so, what were your impressions?

Also, do there exist any books that are programmer's guides to the IIe.
For example, it would tell how to manipulate the screen, disk drive,
serial ports, etc.  (The IBMPC version is by Peter Norton, "Programmer's
Guide To The IBM PC".)  If they do exist, I'd like their title and
publisher.

Thanks,
Joe
