Get ORCA/C 2.1 from The Byteworks. It's an ANSI/ISO C compiler.
It comes with it's own command shell, which is OK. GNO is
better as a shell, especially if you are familiar with UNIX.
But if I had to choose between an accelerator and GNO, I'd
get the accelerator. ORCA/C isn't exactly a speed demon on a stock GS.
