I am getting ready to do this myself.  All indications point to Prospero C 
as the best choice in my book (ANSI standard, real support, good docs, complete
language family to work with).  I suggest both to myself and you, however, to 
try the two PD C compilers, Sorbon and GNU.  I have seen much net buzz on them,
but I do not know if they are complete (ie GEM library, ability to use from 
GEM instead of a command line interpreter, etc).  When I say complete, I mean
the ability to create stand alone GEM, TOS, and TTP applications easily.
