Hi to all the people in the net!
I was thinking about buying a C Language compiler for the
Commodore 64/128 (I have a 64 but soon I will have a 128)
And I have some questions about it:
      1) Which one is the best one? I have heard
         comments about Super C and Power C.
      2) Are they compatible for  64 and 128  (I
         mean, do I need  a  different  compiler
         for each machine?)
      3) How big is the object file?
      4) Is the object file created by the  pro-
         gram copyrighted?
      5) Is it cheap or Public Domain?
      6) Does it allow portability to  and  from
         other system? Does it have a linker and
         accepts "include" files?
      7) How good is the documentation?
I really need a C compiler, but I wouldn't just jump in-
to the first compiler I see.  The thing that I am  look-
ing for here is a cheap, reliable and portable language.
(No I don't plan to write UNIX for  C-64, I am not  that
smart, yet!)
