- You can call MIX Software at 1-800-333-0330 to place an order. The
- bare-bones compiler + manual is about US $20; the debugger is another
- $20. Both are well worth the price.

- But he didn't ask that, did he?

- Power C has several advantages over GNU C:
- . Phone support. Call 1-214-783-6001 and talk to the chap that wrote
- the compiler. He's friendly, fast, helpful, and costs nothing.
- . The Power C Trace Debugger is several orders of magnitude better than
- gdb. (But then, IMO a hard copy of a core dump is better than gdb).
- . Power C is fairly small, and will run on some smaller systems where
- GNU C won't fit.
- . As a C reference, the manual alone is worth the price of the compiler.
