I have a friend who bought a CoCo 3 and a bunch of stuff for it back in
the day, including a C compiler for RS-DOS.  I saw the floppy disk, so I
can confirm that it existed, but I have no idea whether it could produce
any running code.  I don't think he's ever done anything with it.  He
may not even know where it is anymore.  But next time I see him I'll ask
if he can dig it up.
