Richard Shelby has posted something saying he has a copy of
Mix Software's C compiler (Ver 1.0.0) for sale for $25...
I recently bought Mix Software's C compiler (v 1.2.0) from
the company for $19.95 (no joke!).

Supposedly (don't quote me) V1.2 is far faster than V1.0.
I have only V1.2, so I can't say anything either way.

For the price, the Mix C compiler seems like a good deal.
It's not blindingly fast, and the executables are slightly
(~25%) bigger then MSC 5.0, but the price is an order of
magnitude less than MSC 5.0. Mix C is very compatible with
MSC 5.0 - I recompiled a ~2500 line project from MSC to Mix C
with about 5 ultra-trivial changes.

I have no connection with anything, anyone, or Mix Software.
I am simply a satisfied user...
