  I am looking for a good C compiler for my coco3.  I can pick up the compiler 
put out by RS, but I was wondering what other options I have.  This compiler
has known bugs and I want a complete product.  
  I have the Pascal compiler put out by RS, and have applied a patch to use
it under Level 2.  It still has some bugs in it, when I try to write to
the screen (using the standard pascal output path) the escape codes (for doing
graphics) do not quite turn out properly.  I seems that 
 
    write(chr($1b),chr($42),chr(0),chr(0),chr(0),chr(10));
    prompt;

gives me an error of 189 (the 10 seems to be interpreted as a line feed) 
Illegal Coordinates.  If the 10 is replaced by a 13 the same error occurs.
  I have created my own record type to PUT to the screen, and this works fine
but...I then can not use getchar to get a character from the keyboard.
  If any one has any patches or suggestions please post them here. 
 
Thanks
