c compilers

[Gregory R. Simpson]

*** munch munch ***

I am interested in buying a C compiler of the ibm compatible
type... Any recommendations? My primary concern is the ability
to link with other languages (like fortran {oh no}) 
I am also interested in any feedback about the performance of
an ibm pc-xt using xenix. Basically, Can you cc in the background
and still not out type vi? Or some other common single user
multi-tasking operation. Please send replies directly to me via
mail, and I can post a summary. Flames are invited if I posted
this in an improper news group, (I love mail anyway)

Note, please send response to the address below, because
my case account may have evaporated by the time this is distributed.

Thanks in advance,

 Greg Simpson
