Apparently, no one has heard of Dynacomp!  I have their most recently
printed catalog, and it is full of software for cp/m computers(among others).
They will ship in many different formats, both 8" and 5 1/4" for a variety 
of machines.  

Yes, they do sell a "C" compiler, (C/80) made by a company called "Toolworks".
The price is $49.95 for 5 1/4" or $52.45 for 8".  The compiler seems
fairly complete, looking at the catalog description, though some seldomly used
language features are left out.

Also available from Dynacomp is a package called "C/NIX", to provide
a UNIX-like environment on CP/M computers.  This program adds the most
convenient features of UNIX, such as piping, hierarchical directories,
and search paths.  C/NIX costs $59.95 on 5 1/4" or 8".

They have a toll free phone number for placing orders:

1-800-828-6772

and their address:

Dynacomp, Inc.
DYNACOMP Office Building
178 Phillips Road
Webster, NY 14580


If anyone has used either C/NIX or C/80, could they please post their
opinions on the worth of these programs?

and therefore am unable to make any claims about the quality of 
their software.
