   There's public domain c compilers.

   pdpclib both predated and inspired pdclib, so I don't   
   know what you mean by "already". It would be better   
   to put it the other way around. And why did you   
   even bring up the C library? I distribute a public domain   
   C library. It works. What's the issue?   
      
   Also I think you'll find that his doesn't support the mainframe.

   That's yet another subset of C90:   
      
   Small C is a public domain compiler for a subset of C.  The main things   
   lacking are "#if", structs/unions, doubles/floats/longs and more than   
   one level of indirection.   
      
   SubC is more advanced than that.   
      
   So once again, I fail to see what point either of you are making.   
      
   Especially a point that involves sarcasm.
