Subject: Alcyon C compiler



The ST compiler is essentially the same as the CP/M-68K version
except in two areas.  The first doesn't matter much, the second
matters A LOT!

1.  The ST version is several revisions along from the CP/M-68K version.
      It has some bug fixes, and some improvements in the library.

2.  It has been changed to put out a different set of TRAP calls to
      the operating system.  CP/M-68K uses TRAP #2 for BDOS calls.  GEM
      and TOS use a variety of TRAP #1, #2, and who knows what 
      else.  This is probably ONLY in the run-time library, and you 
      could probably patch it with effort, but it would be a noticeable
      job without source code.
