[Coco] Which version of C?

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi, 

I remember that the cost of the "C" Compiler plus OS-9 was less than another "C" Compiler. 

So I purchased OS-9 Level - I and the Microware "C" Compiler. 

I really missed the boat when OS-9 appeared in the 68 Micro Journal.  8-O

But then I also missed the Preprocessor for Basic I purchased for FLEX09.

Oh if I just had done "Urbane" then. 
------------------------------------
Rainbow Dec 1983. Page 270

The only C language compiler available for the CoCo
Disk Operating System as opposed to Flex or OS-9 is
Dugger's Small C. Version 1 .2.

(Dugger's Growing Systems, P.O. Box 305, Solana Beach,
CA 92075, Disk TRSDOS $49.95)
------------------------------------
I cannot find the "other" "C" Compiler using the "Rainbow text searchable index", Dugger's small C was not it.
