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 assemblycode for the BBC Microcomputer. It was written in Small-C

and bootstrapped 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.
