About the GST C Compiler.  Quanta sell this and they should have a  
master copy in their stock.  They also sell the GST QMAC Macro  
Assembler from the same agency
Both items were sold under licence from GST.
For both items we paid a royalty to GST of £5.00 per copy sold.    
There are details about this in the stuff that I gave John Gilpin.
The QMAC was a good seller at one time but has been overtaken by  
George Gwilt's assembler.

During the twelve years I was Treasurer we never sold a GST C  
Compiler.   The reason was that the bugs in the Macro Assembler had  
been removed by Phil Borman but he never corrected the GST C Compiler  
because C68 was a better C compiler and it was free.
I think you are better off using C68.  The GST C Compiler certainly  
isn't worth the £15.00 Quanta are required to charge for it.
