I'm looking into updating the versions of Inform & Zip we have available on the QL.
Can anyone recommend a suitable C compiler?

Any documentation on using the compiler would be appreciated too! :mrgreen:

GCC upto version 3.4.2 can compile 68k code.

Cheers, I'll look into that, if I get it to work, I'll post a guide!

I never used the GCC, but probably this will help, try it:

But mr. Shatner's reading abilites are unknown to me...

The other alternatives for the QL, are to use the C68 compiler (public domain and converted to the QL), or the Metacomco C compiler - I have only ever used C68 and that was some years ago, so cannot really comment as to which is the better of the two.
