I have several versions of Aztec C that are from the early 8088 era.  A
'light' version and the full-blown product.  I believe the manual for my
copy is also the manual for the CP/M version.  I just have the DOS
version.  I was poking around coding with it about a year ago on an old
DOS laptop.  I was trying to get it up and running on my HP-95LX palmtop
if I remember correctly (which I have an old version of masm.com on the
cmos drive of)
