Okay, the OS-9 C compiler released through Radio Shack was the two 
pass, then Microware had a later version that was a one pass (never 
released by Radio Shack).

I'm looking to see if anyone familiar with the one pass (I recall 
reading about this in ... Rainbow?) knows if it was better.

And yes, we really need an ANSI compiler for the CoCo.  Cross hosted is 
fine, but it would be even better to have one that can run on a CoCo 
(native) AND cross hosted PC/Mac.  Honestly, if we were to start 
working on a cross hosted one, I'd like to see it written in Java 
(command line Java is pretty fast) so it could run on PC, Mac, Linux, 
etc.
