A word of warning about the Aztec C run-time library... I have been using the MANX Aztec C compiler on an Osbourne Executive at work. The compiler works very nicely (NO real complaints so far), but the run-time library is about as bug-ridden and frustrating to use as the compiler is bug-free and a pleasure to use. At some point, if I can find the time, I am seriously considering scrapping the run-time library and rewriting from scratch. (Did we get a bad copy somehow? Anybody using the run-time library heavily not experiencing large numbers of blatant bugs?) Brian Katzung ucbvax!ucsfcgl!katzung

I am surprised to hear that you are having problems with the Aztec C run-time library. I use the library extensively on a CP/M system and have found no bugs at all. I am using version 1.06D. Are you still running 1.05G or 1.06B? Those versions did have bugs (especially 1.05). I have a co-worker who uses the Aztec compiler on a Compaq and have never heard him complain about run-time library bugs. If you get a chance, drop me a note and describe a couple of your bugs. I'll compare them to the fix-list which came with 1.06D and let you know what I find. -- -- Art Zemon FileNet Corp. ...! {decvax, ihnp4, ucbvax} !trwrb!felix!zemon

I have had good experiences with MANX Aztec C compiler although
I think thier prices are a little high.

I've been hearing for some time now about a public domain library for Aztec C II. I first heard about it in Dave Cortesi's column in the Feb. '84 Dr. Dobb's I've been trying to find it since then, with no luck whatsoever. Does anyone have any idea how to get it?
