		I am looking for a C compiler that will run under 4.2BSD 
	on VAX and Sun, and under Xenix on a 286/310 (this last is least
	important) producing code for both 8086 and 80286 target
	machines, which run a custom operating system.  Since I will be
	writing system software with this, I would like the ability
	to imbed assembly code.  This should preferably produce Intel-format
	source and object code, and be mated with a reasonable assembler
	and linker.  Since I will also be writing applications with this,
	I would also like a fairly normal Unix-like C library.  It would
	also be very helpful if it used Unix format libraries.

		I talked to OASYS, who markets a Wizard C Compiler which 
	sounds like what I want, but it's fairly expensive, especially 
	considering that it's per-cpu priced, and we have quite a few cpus.
	Has anyone out there had experience with the Wizard C Compiler?
	If you have a different system to recommend, please let me know.
	Please reply to me, and I will summarize to the net if enough
	others are interested.  Also, any comments from people who have
	written operating systems for the 286 in C would be appreciated.
