Then the people at Manx (the Aztec C people) must be a bunch of masochists.  I
have used their Apple II C compiler and found it pretty good, if somewhat
slow (that is an understatement).  On the other hand, it does come with a
nice shell that does a fantastic job of simulating a Bourne shell (complete
with redirection - no multitasking, but acceptable given the hardware
environment).  BTW I was running it on a 1MHz Apple II+ clone.
