[net.micro.apple] Tools for Aztec C

dcn@ihuxl.UUCP (Dave Newkirk) (11/10/83)

	I have written several software tools for the Apple Aztec C System,
	and in response to the recent request, I will list them.  Since I
	don't have a modem, I can't easily post the sources, but I will
	type them in if you request particular ones.

		wc		(lines,words,chars)
		detab/entab	(from problems in C ref. manual)
		more		(paging lister)
		show		(make unprintable characters printable)
		tail		(list first/last N lines/chars of file)
		fgrep		(simple version with -nx options)
		sort		(quicksort with only -r option)
		dc		(in C ref manual)
		fgets, stoi	(new/fixed library functions)

	I haven't started any large projects yet, but I hope to improve the
	editor since the source was included in the last release.  I am
	disappointed that things aren't packaged the same way; it took me
	45 minutes to get the linker and the standard library onto the same
	disk as the compiler/interpreter.  I don't think native compiler will
	fit on a single disk, but that's not a big handicap since development
	will normally use the interpreter.
