I'm not sure which compiler you're talking about but there are only
two C compilers available for the C-64: Power C (C-Power) by Spinnaker
and Super C by Abacus.  I've tried Super C and really didn't like it
(I don't remember why though).  Now I have Power C and it seems to
be pretty nice.  It seems to adhere to the K&R standard.  I've heard
of some of the bugs but they aren't that significant.  Also, it seems
that all the users on this news uses C-Power.  So getting help and
feedback is really a plus.

Also, you mentioned the need of an assembler for the 6502/6510.  Well,
you're in luck.  Mark Rinfret has written a 6502 assembler for the c64
in the C-Power environment.  The program is public domain is comparable
is many professional ones.

Hope this has helped.
