Small-C has been available for some time in the ProDOS -based ORCA/M package.
In fact, I purchased an older version of it at a discount. If you have ORCA/M
then look in the APDAlog for the ORCA Small-C product.

What we really need is a FULL C that runs on all 64K ProDOS capable Apples (or
clones) and supports 6502, 65C02, 65C802 and 65C816 output. I previously made
a posting asking for interest in the area because I have an Apple II+ with the
WDC65C802 installed. There was some response, "but you know how those large
programming projects tend to grow on you" to quote. I'll keep working, but a
solution from a large company with better support would be welcome...
