...   I know that this has probably been hashed over several times
...on the net, so please forgive one more time.  I am looking into
...buying a C compiler for my IBM-PC compatible, I have noticed several
...names mentioned (i.e. Borland Turbo C, Microsoft C, and Zortech C++).
...
...   What I am looking for is opions, facts, or just plain ideas of what
...is the best C compiler for micros.  Any help would be greatly apreciated.
...

There isn't any "best" compiler just as there isn't any "best"
automobile.  
	"I think that the Porsche xxx is the best car in the world."
	"I don't.  I can't fit my family in it."
	
Choose between the major players -- Microsoft and Borland -- or see who
has the feature-of-the-month.
