[net.micro.amiga] Compiling Hack with Aztec C

mcb@k.cs.cmu.edu (Michael Browne) (05/07/86)

Didn't some one announce an Aztec C version of Amiga Hack?  If so, could
this person please supply me with the diffs between the Lattice and Aztec
version?  If not, could some Lattice C user at least explain the distributed
_main.c (variables in particular) and the compilation flags in ccall?  Thanks.

	I have converted Amiga Hack 1.01 under Lattice C to run under
Aztec C. Unfortunately, the changes are too extensive to just supply
you with a diffs. The changes are conditional however with the flag
AZTEC turning them on.  I should warn you of a couple of problems

a) there is a bug in the source code in the file hack.shk.c
b) the Lattice make file's dependencies are incomplete
   - I had to make up some new ones
c) the program crashes randomly; which I attribute to bugs in
   the compiler which Manx is aware of and fixing. When I get
   the new version of the compiler I'll try again. If that version
   seems to work ok, I'll release it.

	Also, a friend of mine is converting the PCDos 1.03 version
of Hack to run on the AMIGA and is basically stuck at the same point.
	So, when he gets the new version of the compiler, there may
be a HACK 1.03 for the Amiga!!!!!
