I just received my copy of Megamax C. It is very good and very fast at
executing code. It includes floating point (including doubles) and it
looks like all of the Mac toolbox. When I first tried it I was able to
write a small C program, compile it, and get a double clickable application
without any troubles (even without reading the documentation.) The
double clickable applications are small and independent (i.e. don't require
you to have any other Megamax stuff around.)

It is a 68000 assembler also. You can easily write any part (even the
whole thing) of your program in standard 68000 assembly code. Normal
C supports 4 register variables which aid in fast execution times.

Megamax includes Rmaker, a dissassembler, and Apple's "edit". Edit is
an excellent editor between "file" and "MacWrite". It allows multiple
file editing, sideways scrolling, and nice search and replace abilities.

This compiler lists for $299. It is based completely on the Kernighan and
Ritchie "C" manual, and as far as I can see, everything is there.
Megamax doesn't have any restrictions on you using any of the applications
you make for selling or free distribution. AND, IT IS **NOT** PROTECTED
IN ANY WAY!!!
