Have any of you Mac users out there had a chance (or taken the plunge) to
use one of the C compilers now (or soon to be) available for the Mac?
If so, I would like some input as to the satisfaction (or lack of same) that
you have experienced.  Specific information I would like:

	1. Completeness of the documentation
	2. Compliance with K & R
	3. Full standard library (whatever makes sense in a Mac environment)
	4. HOW MUCH toolbox support and how well documented
	   (Some of the products have 2 levels--how much T.B. support in
	    each level?)
	5. Suitability as a stand-alone development system (pre-supposing
	   512K)
	6. Any other relevant comments.

I am looking for the Best Buy, so any comparative info anyone has on the 
relative merits/demerits of the available packages is most welcome.

I am certain I am not the only one interested, so postings to the net are
probably in order.  Any personal responses I will eventually summarize to
the net.

Thanks in advance.
