Subject: C compilers, and Degas pics

I'm shopping around for a good C compiler (it's about time -- 2
years of Personal Pascal is enough to drive anyone insane).
What I really need is one that comes with good documentation
on the AES calls too, since I've been spoiled by Personal Pascal's
pseudo-AES/VDI routines.  Also, I'm looking for one that doesn't
generate huge scratch files, since I'd prefer to compile off a
RAMdisk instead of a floppy (no hard drive yet).

A GEM shell would be a plus, but I'd prefer for a system with a TOS
shell and a great make utility over a GEM-based make-less package.


Also, does anyone understand the format of the color animation
tables at the end of the Degas Elite picture files?
