AZTEC C Manual in Html Format

[Bill Buckels <bbuckels@escape.ca>]

Again I should mention that the Aztec-C Manual that was orginally
resurrected by Phoenix (Mike T.) is available in HTML format from the
Aztec C Website. This manual is very comprehensive, excellently
written and provides many examples.

Introduction

This is an HTML version of the electronic manual for Manx Aztec C for
Apple II ProDOS released as freeware by Phade Software December 1999.
The release notes for the electronic manual indicate that the
electronic manual contains the same information as the paper manual
distributed by Manx Software Systems with the compiler. However, they
also indicate that if you are using the AZTEC PLUS release you should
use the electronic manual rather than the paper manual supplied by
Manx. Welcome to the wonderfully confusing World of Aztec C!

The release notes for the electronic manual also indicate that the
following notation in the synopsis part of a manual page only means
that the function or utility is available both in UNIX and on the
Apple II, but despite that fact, the description for that function or
utility may differ between the Apple II and UNIX versions:
        /* Apple // and UNIX function */ or
        /* Apple // and UNIX utility */

The contact information in the release notes for the electronic manual
is as follows, but Manx Software Systems have apparently since faded
from existence:

Manx Software Systems
P.O. Box 55
Shrewsbury, N.J 07701

Phade Software
Inh. Frank Gadegast
Schierker Strasse 39
1000 Berlin 44 - Germany

The HTML version (this document and others) was produced by Canadian
Software Developer Bill Buckels by reformatting the Phade Software
UNIX style man pages from the elctronic manual into consolidated HTML
documents after converting these from Apple II text to IBM text. The
original format has been preserved as much as practically possible,
and the content of the Phade Software electronic manual remains
apparently intact and unaltered in its transition to HTML.

The main benefits of the HTML version are that you can view the
information in the man pages on a single HTML document using a web
browser in the relative comfort of a modern user interface and can use
your web browsers "Find on this Page" feature to search through the
content to easily locate information using your own search criteria.
This is much easier than using the unix style man utility which can
only search on key topics and will only display a single topic at a
time.
