I remember the name Aztec C. Didn't they make a C
compiler for the Amiga?
As well as several other platforms. I believe their first sets of
compilers were PDP-11 hosted, at least for development if not for sale.
I think they had Apple, MS-DOS, Mac and Atari, too.

I don't know if they ever fixed their compiler for

confronted with two variables of the same name, the compiler would always pick the
variable OUTSIDE the scope of the function!! Stopped using it after I found that bug in
favor of Lattice/Microsoft C.
Gee, those programmers never want to blame their code for confusion,
do they? :-)
