- There is nothing better than Aztec C. If you are doing serious work there is
- no substitute. It comes with a real make utility, a separate and configurable
- assembler and linker, and provides voluminous technical information about
- internal data formats, parameter passing, etc. And it comes with the MPW shell
- so you get the benefits of MPW without putting up with the poor MPW C compiler.
-
- By all means get the commercial version. Price I think is $500, which includes
- MPW shell, C compiler, assembler, linker, several utilities including make,
- grep, a vi like editor, and standard ANSI libraries and other libraries
- including library source code.
-
- I cannot praise it enough.
-
- No I don't work for the company.
