Re: C compiler for an Apple II



Here is some info about small c to help you decide if it will do the
job.
The info comes from the small c manuel.  Syndicomm sells small c.

Small-C is a subset of the full language. Specific differences will
be
discussed later. For someone writing production code, Small-C will be
a
risky choice. Small-C is primarily intended to fill three needs:

1. Small-C shows how to install a compiler in the ORCA/M
environment, and thus serves as an example to compiler writers who
would
like to bring a compiler up on ORCA/M.

2. Small-C comes with source code, and is written in itself. This
makes it a valuable tool for anyone who would like to learn more
about
compilers, or who needs to implement a special purpose language.

3. Small-C, while not a full implementation, will be useful to those
needing a compiler until full languages are available on ORCA/M.

If you fall into one of those categories, then Small-C is for you. If
you do
not, another compiler would probably be a better choice.
