It was published in Bend, Oregon by former Tektronix engineer David J. Thompson.
The magazine, conceived as a newsletter for users of the Ferguson Big Board (a single-board CP/M computer), was published bi-monthly beginning in July 1981.
Micro C carried articles on a wide range of subjects, some system-specific and newsletter-like, but also covering (then) off-mainstream topics, e.g. 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, or the special needs of disabled users.
They published a 32-page catalog of CP/M and MS-DOS software, cover date Fall/Winter 1986, describing it as the second, the first having been the Spring issue.
The publishers of Micro C organized free annual user conference dubbed "SOG" (Semi-Official Get-together) in Oregon.
