z88dk is a z80 C cross compiler supplied with an assembler/linker and a set of libraries implementing the C standard library for a number of different z80 based machines. The compiler featured in z88dk is much enhanced Small C compiler, the compiler accepts many features of ANSI C and is only deficient in a few areas where implementation on a z80 processor might prove inefficient. The compiler performs simple optimizations, but the bulk of the optimization is done by a set of peep-hole rules, which will typically reduce the size of a large project by up to a third.
SDCC (Small Device C Compiler) is a freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler. The current version targets the Intel 8051 and the Zilog Z80 based MCUs.
Chris Wild did the first conversions of Lords of Midnight and Doomdark's Revenge for dos (and later for win9x) on his site Icemark, where you will find a new version 1.09 of Lords of Midnight.
