From: garl@nlm-vax (Gary Letourneau) Has anyone out there been using the Softworks C system on a regular basis? I spent yesterday using it, and it seems to work fine for me (I like mouse- intensive development systems). I do have one issue which I'd like to address. The cmac.h header file is one big header file, and the user is supposed to edit out those parts not needed for a particular application. Now editing this file for each application seems to me to be a painful and time-consuming operation. A SUMACC-style partition of this header file into several different pieces seems to be in order. What do others using the Softwork C system do? garl@nlm-mcs Gary Letourneau

From: olson@harvard.ARPA (Eric Olson) I did an emergency programming project for the Mac in Softworks C, and did just edit the cmac.h file to get what I needed. I also had to LINK with each .REL file missing and write down the unknown externals, then reassemble the libraries with only those functions in order to make the application fit in memory (a human-powered function extractor). I plan to split up ostraps, quicktraps, and tooltraps and packtraps, as well as cmac.h so that I can select just what I've used. Of course, with a 512K Mac these problems become much less troublesome. I rather like that C, as I mentioned before. Eric.
