Way back in the early '80s there was Dugger's Growing Systems C, but it was 
terribly stripped down -- no structures, for example.  Floating what?  I think 
we once heard from someone on the List who had actually used it, but don't 
quote me on that.

There was another one, too, but I disremember its name.

Since I had OS-9 early on, I had no need to duke it out with RSDOS C 
compilers.   Finding the "misfeatures" in OS-9 C was fun enough for me :-) 

FWIW, C's I/O library assumes a certain amount of OS support out there, maybe 
more than RSDOS was able to give.  --Mike K.
