About Pacific C HI-TECH Software's Freeware C compiler for MS-DOS systems.
Pacific C is a freeware C compiler for DOS. Included is the HI-TECH Professional Development environment, an IDE allowing you to edit source code and manage projects with ease. Pacific C's text-based GUI makes it an excellent teaching package, while ANSI-compliance and tight code generation provide a powerful development tool. We have decided to make Pacific C for MS-DOS freeware. We have removed from the current distribution the shareware notice, so you may use the compiler for any purpose without having to either register or make a payment of any kind. This includes commercial use. If you redistribute Pacific C you must retain the copyright notices etc.A new version will be released sometime with improvements. It just depends on when we get time to put it together.
