Here's some info regarding the CC02 C compiler I came across:

C
I have heard something about a Small C called CC02 from
a company called Folksoft.  Anyone have more information on this?

Operating system requirements: 48K RAM, DOS 3.3
Support requirements: DOS Toolkit or Big Mac assemblers (Can be
                      configured for others)

STATUS: Copyrighted program - ?defunct? company.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If the author can be traced, it _might_ be possible
                    to get CC02 into the Public Domain. Otherwise,
                    it probably must remain a curiosity.

The CC02 comprises a 'shell' which accepts UNIX-like commands, redirects
I/O and passes command-line arguments. No editor is provided, and the
editor which accompanies the chosen assembler is recommended, though a
'pretty-printer' utility is available. The compiler accepts a sub-set of
K&R C - _signed_ character and _signed_ integer data-types, no
structures or unions, and only single dimensional arrays, but is
claimed to be quite adequate for a screen-oriented text-editor,
text-formatter, linker and the CC02 compiler itself.

It does not use (or like?) modified versions of DOS. Whether this would
prevent it from being used with one of the DOS-launchers for GS/OS which
have been developed recently (1994) is not known.
