There was also BDS C, from BD Systems (?); it was the original C compiler
for CP/M.  During its heyday, CP/M had a bunch of them, most now defunct.
I'd call Manx and see if they still make the CP/M compiler. It was my
chosen system -- good code generation, complete library, K&R (except for
bitfields, I think).

EcoSoft's phone # is 800/952-0472
Manx's phone # is unknown.
