I had that. I interned at NASA as a high schooler, got exposed to C, and suddenly found BASIC lacking. SO I tracked down Abacus C at, as I recall, a JC Penney electronics section.

It didn't support then entire K&R standard though. No function pointers.

mine came from a small software store that was a bed store the last time I drove by.
