Product Description
Power C is an ANSI compatible C compiler for DOS that requires very few resources. It can be installed in less than 1 Meg of disk space and will run on any PC that runs DOS 2.0 or later. It is compatible with CPUs from the 8088 through the latest Pentiums®. Power C combines high-performance software with superb documentation, all for less than the price of most C books alone. It's your fast route to fast programs without the fast bucks. The quality of the Power C documentation makes it easier to learn C. The manuals (if any) that accompany our competitor's products are terse at best. They contain little or no information about C, and very few examples. In contrast, the Power C book includes a step-by-step tutorial and is chock-full of example programs. Many of our customers say that it's the best C book they've ever used. The quantity of functions in the Power C library makes it easier to accomplish your programming tasks. The Power C library contains more than 420 functions, a superset of the functions in Microsoft C 4.0 and Turbo C 1.0. In addition, Power C includes a large number of video and graphics functions. You get super-fast functions for drawing lines, boxes, circles, ellipses, pie charts, and more. The speed of the Power C compiler makes programming fast. Power C's integrated MAKE utility saves you time and effort by automatically managing your large programming projects. If you modify your program, Power C makes a new version by recompiling only the files that have changed. The compiled programs are equally fast. Just check out the performance chart. See how much time and money you save with Power C.

5.0 out of 5 stars C Compiler Software and Documentation a Great Deal , April 7, 2008
By Douglas W. Goodall (Santa Maria, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The Power C product is one of the wonders of the world. The product consists of a well written book and a diskette containing a working C Compiler that works in a Dos environment. For someone trying to learn the C programming language, it is an inexpensive software package and tutorial book. Unlike many compiler books, this one is stuffed full of working example code demonstrating the use of the library routines. Back when I used to sell a Dos compatible operating system, I used to bundle each copy of my software with this book and Disk. The book and disk sells new from Mix Software for about $19 plus tax and shipping so the prices here for used copies are even better. This product is a great deal for a student or hobbyist.
