From the 1980s and continuing throughout the 1990s until Manx Software Systems disappeared, the MS-DOS version of Aztec C[REF] was offered both as a native mode compiler or as a cross compiler for other platforms with different processors including the Commodore 64[REF] and Apple II [REF].
Finally, Aztec C86 provided C language developers with the ability to produce ROM-able "HEX" code which could then be transferred using a ROM Burner directly to an 8086 based processor.
