  Small-C
       
          A subset of {C}.  The original compiler, written in {C} by Ron
          Cain, appeared in Dr. Dobb's Journal.  James E. Hendrix
          improved and extended the original compiler and published "The
          Small-C Handbook".  Both these compilers produced {8080}


          {assembly code}.
       
          A Small-C compiler based on {RatC} produced {6502} {assembly
          code} for the {BBC Microcomputer}.  It was written in Small-C
          and {bootstrap}ped using {Zorland C} on an {Amstrad PC1512}
          under {MS-DOS} 3.2, then transferred onto a {BBC Micro} using
          {Kermit}.  The compiler can be used to cross-compile {6502}
          code from an {MS-DOS} host, or as a {resident} Small-C
          compiler on a BBC Micro.  It runs on {68000}, {6809}, {VAX},
          {8080}, {BBC Micro} and {Zilog Z80}.
