A programming language that is sort of like Pascal except more like assembly except that it isn't very much like either one, or anything else. It is either the best language available to the art today, or it isn't.

the flexibility of assembly language with the power of assembly language.

"GCC is a retargetable and highly optimizing implementation of ANSI C. It was written by Richard Stallman and a cast of thousands (well, scores) around the world. Although GCC was originally designed to be a Unix-based compiler, this version has been adapted to be a drop-in replacement for the standard MPW C compiler. This distribution includes both C and C++ compilers.
If you have never used MPW GCC before then this distribution will be very hard to get started with. You might want to wait for a correctly-working version. Presently gcc will only compile a limited subset of programs correctly (we don't know exactly which ones, that's why this is not a real release!)"
"This version is described as a 'demo' since it lacks a standard C library, and facilities for automated builds, scripts etc., and it generates applications only. Only MacsBug debugging is supported. However it is in no way crippled and these features could (I won't say easily) be added if there is interest."

2. Harvest C
VERSION - UPDATE: 1.3 (06-20-93)
README:
"The MPW 3.2 headers must be in a folder called "(Harvest C Headers)",in the same folder as the Harvest C application. The MPW 3.2 libs must be in a folder called "(Harvest C Libraries)", also in the same folder as the Harvest C application." [ see * ]
"lcc is the retargetable compiler for ANSI C described in our {read: Chris Fraser and David Hanson} book "A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation" (Benjamin/Cummings, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1)"
"This is a MPW tool version of lcc that generates assembly output for the MPW 68k Assembler. MPW, the MPW 68k Assembler and the MPW Runtime libraries are needed to use this version of lcc as well as a C preprocessor. "
