Re: A86: What C-compilers have we got? [82/83/83+/85/86]
I would, but there are no compilers out there that actually WORK. I've
tried small c, and that just didn't seem to align text and stuff like that
properly...Other C compilers just didn't have the necessary functions
included - I could make a text basted game at best.
