C

  C is shaping up to be an important language in AI's plans. It looks like the language of choice for the 8086 based on the Computer Innovations compiler, and of course it is the workhorse on any of the Unix ports to the 68000 or elsewhere.

If you don't know C, it would be a good idea to pick up a book and start reading up on it. The reference is The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, Prentice-Hall, 1978 ISBN 0-13-110163-3. AI will reimburse the cost of your buying this book.

The Computer Innovations C is a full, unrestricted, implementation of the language as described in the book. If anybody knows of a similar 8080 C with good code and an attractive runtime licensing deal, please let me know.

I'm currently exploring the option of converting WINDOW to C for the 8086.
