Back in 1987 or 1988 we had a Mac network at college, these would have been either Mac Classic or Mac Plus machines. We used a C compiler on them - what C compilers were around at the time?

Could be Think C or Apple's Macintosh Programmers' Workshop Note links are to Wikipedia, which is probably OK for information for old computing.

Think C was the definitive C compiler, until CodeWarrior came out in the early 90's. The original Mac OS and applications were written in a combination of Pascal and 68K assembly. – Mark Thalman Feb 26 at 19:10
