The MicroWare os9 compiler, with a few additions as below, can generally 
handle quite a bit of the more modern code with void's etc.

1. cprep-19 to replace c.prep, it handles much bigger src code files.
2. Ansifront-0.12
3. c.opt2
4. for coco3's only, CnoY
5 Most any of the later CC or make utilities, as most of them can be edited to 
match your drive setups.
6. A 512k or 2 meg memory kit is handy as it lets you use a ramdisk for the 
intermediate files although if you have a hard drive, there probably isn't 
going to be a noticeable speed advantage.  I've used it just because its 
there.
