I was going over some of your old posts and our emails from 2009 on Aztec 
C65, etc. It was in around that time that you started using the cc65 
toolchain, pointing out to me that cc65 is much faster and more efficient 
than Aztec C65...

Here's one of many of those old posts...  and I eventually came around to 
your way of thinking... especially with the death of MS-DOS and the need for 
DosBOX to run this old stuff...

You're welcome. So is everyone else. On the topic of point 4 above (4.
Write your C program.)

A large body of sample source and library routines is on the Aztec C Website
from a number of contributors and I continue to receive more.

Here's some acknowledgements (there are others)

In particular and insofar as the Apple //e, I should place added emphasis on
the importance of Phade Software's libraries:

And oh yes, the AppleShell Project (lest we forget:)

And then of course we have CP/M 80 and the Softcard and Applicard and other
Z80 cards on the Apple II which provides yet another compiler track:

The Aztec C Museum still needs work but I completely revamped it recently
and hopefully it makes some more sense as a resource.

I also provide other resources for working with Apple II's and CP/M

The CPM 86 and CPM 80 Museum

http://www.cpm8680.com

This website is a Work In Progress of links and downloads dedicated to CP/M
(Control Program for Microcomputers) which was (and is) an operating system
similar to MS-DOS but which predated MS-DOS, and which is in fact the
operating system that MS-DOS descended from. But CP/M is much more than
simply an early version of MS-DOS and CP/M is very much alive in online
communities of Enthusiasts and Others who still use CP/M in Old (and
sometimes newer) Computers and Emulators. This website is maintained by Bill
Buckels as one of his several retro-computing sites which span several
decades of micro computing.

And even other compilers:

The other thing that I offer support for is Apple II graphics etc. through
the use of several utilities including:
