I'm glad that you qualified it with "for the time"; I've used it, and 
calling it a "C compiler" was a bit of a stretch[*].  Later on I bought 
the Hi-Tech C compiler, and it was full ANSI, with function prototypes 
etc.

I think it was Henry Spencer who said (in relation to some other product): 
"Somehow, to be called a C compiler it ought to at least be able to 
compile C".
