Hi Paul,

FWIW the reasons I didn't suggest Aztec C to Joseph Rose are
several... the main one being that he diddled with Aztec C for Apple
II years back at my suggestion and never did much of anything with it
so I wasn't inclined to waste his valuable time further.

One other reason is because Aztec C 3.2b (assuming you didn't mean the
really old versions) and any other K & R compliant compiler will
generally offer much more than the minimum and so will its header
files which will also be implementation specific.

All of these extras could be quite confusing and might require many
more pointless questions before the thread fizzled into nowhere... not
that I'm being a pessimist... and of course people change every day so
perhaps Mr. Rose's behaviour will too this time around.

Also his question should have probably been asked in
comp.sys.apple2.programmer and should have been apple2 specific, but
that doesn't really matter at this point, unless he actually bothers
to read this thread after starting it...

Anyway,

Good Luck in Doing The Lord's Work:)
