HP never produced a CM C compiler as far as I know.  Tymlabs sold one a
long time ago, but it hasn't been seen from them in years.  CCS apparently
still sells one.

One possible way to handle your situation (assuming it will be running on
MPE/iX hardware) might be to compile the C functions in NM and use a switch
stub to call the NM routines from CM.  It's my understanding that this is
somewhat more efficient than the more common need of calling CM from NM
because the NM code can directly access the CM data, whereas CM code must
have copies made of any NM data being passed in even if passed by reference.

Just a thought....

Good luck.
