2500AD C compiler for 6502

I'm about to do another project with a Sunplus 6502-compatible microcontroller. Sunplus doesn't offer a C compiler so I've previously written assembly for them, but I'm interested in using C on this project.Avocet Systems, who now owns the 2500AD tools, says their 2500AD Compiler for 6502 (ADC-65) explicitly supports Sunplus. Here's some info on it: This is the only compiler I know of with Sunplus support. Anyone have recent experience with this development environment? I found some 1995 posts complaining about unnamed bugs and large code sizes.My goal for a C compiler is to save development time, even if it does swell the code a bit (I've got plenty of ROM). I'm trying to tell if the 2500AD compiler will help towards that goal or wind up slowing things down.Thanks,Wallace

TANSTAAFL. You gets what you pays for. Cheap price implies that something was sacrificed; in this case, quality control and standardization.

Last I knew it was the Western Design Center.
