Recently I posted a request for info about graphics routines for Aztec C. I got a lot of requests; it seems that a lot of people are interested, so I'm going ahead with my work on the hi-res graphics library for Aztec C. I'll mail it to those who specifically requested that I send it by mail, but due to the many requests I got I will be posting it to the net. I'm not sure when. It isn't finished yet, and my wife and I have a baby due (our first!) any day now, and I just bought a house, and so I'm not exactly breaking my neck to get this done. I'll try to have everything finished up sometime around the first of the year. Maybe sooner, probably later. By the way, I really like the Aztec C compiler, but the support from Manx has been absolutely terrible. I have a hard time finding anyone there who seems familiar with the Apple version of their compiler. The response when I report a bug is usually something like, "Hmmmmm. I see." They have been promising a ProDos version of the compiler for nearly a year now. I think it got shelved while they got the Mac version working. At any rate, I'm not very impressed with them as a company. Their documentation stinks, too. As long as you work under the shell they supply you're fine, but I have been having a heck of a time implementing device drivers for use in a stand-alone environment. Some more support and better documentation would help a lot. Douglas Hall ITT Telecom Products Raleigh, NC ittvax!ittral!hall
