I have the MS-DOS Lattice C cross-compiler that output Amiga

Amiga is pretty useless for compiles, and two floppies weren't
much better.
I tried to teach myself C on the Apple ][ Manx compiler. It took nearly
two minutes to compile a "Hello World!" program so I gave up.
Too bad I didn't have a hard drive by then.

I
wouldn't mind a copy of Manx Aztec C. ISTR there was a 6502 cross-compiler
version made - ran on an IBM PC, produced 6502 code. Never managed to find a
copy, though. Same goes for the "compile on a PC, run on a PC" version.
I have an Apple ][ version (which produces 6502 code naturally) and I may
have a PC version. I'm pretty sure I also have an Amiga version.
