[Coco] CoCo & CoCo OS-9 C compilers

[Lothan]

Wasn't the one-pass C compiler included with the OS-9 Development System
when OS-9 Level 2 and Multi-Vue was released? I definitely remember having a
copy of it when Multi-Vue was released, but I can't remember if I obtained
it from the OS-9 Development System disks or some other disk set. I do
remember the primary changes were as follows:

cc1 was replaced with cc2
c.asm was replaced with rma
c.pass1 and c.pass replaced with c.pass
c.prep updated

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.
