The ProDOS version is availible through anonymous FTP at my
Apple archive at "plains.NoDak.edu".
Use standard operating procedures to login. It is in the
pub/appleII/nonGS/languages directory.
You need the files: hyperc.sdk and fp.sdk
Also, please excuse the mess of the archive, since I haven't had a chance to
get it organized to much yet.

Someone posted having the ProDOS HyperC and source code... Does anyone out there have the ability to put it on APPLE2-L or any of the FTP sites out there for public consumption? A public-domain C compiler, even if it is 8-bit, would be handy to say the least. It would also make a PD gs C compiler that much easier to write... Also, could anyone out there get me info on programming the serial port for interrupt-driven reads and writes? ie, what are the calls for reading and writing to the serial port which don't access the firmware so I don't have to screen out CRTL-A/CTRL-I, both of which I use frequently... I need it for my VT220 program, and haven't been able to afford new reference books lately. Also, some clue as to how to correctly program the interrupt driver using the toolbox routines... The GS Technical Reference is vague at best (not Apple's, the independent one...), and I don't have the Firmware Reference or the Hardware Reference.

Had anyone successfully downloaded and unpacked the ProDOS HyperC from ftp site plains.nodak.edu? I tried 2 times, but when unshrink the disk, I got internal error #81. Yes, I used binary mode while transfering using FTP. I used kermit and xmodem to download file.

Same problem here, on both the fp and hyperc disks.. the % packed
information looked incorrect, but otherwise, the archive header was
valid.

Thanks to ggray here at wpi I have the HyperC language, and can upload it to apple2-l and comp.binaries.appleII, but I don't have the floating point library yet, not instructions on using hyperc... Maybe I'll just upload what I have, It would save someone the phone charges of downloading hyperc long distance.

I couldn't get the files on plains.nodak.edu to unshrink properly, so thanks to a friend of a friend with an account on pro-generic, I was able to download them from there. As soon as someone can tell me that it's perfectly legal, I'll send them to comp.binaries.apple2. I'm going to change them to file archives instead of disk archives though to eliminate the problems of disk archives (so you can unshrink both archives to your hard drive or whatever).
WPW100@psuvm.psu.edu (Will Wong) (02/04/90)
I don't want to seem picky or anything, but is there any way to get input from the keyboard? scanf() and getchar() don't seem to be there. What is left? I don't know what the equivalents of stdin or stdout in Hyper C so I can't really try fscanf() either.

What happened was he uploaded the binary file using some transfer protocol that thought it was a text file--so all the returns in the file ($0D) become return-linefeed pairs ($0D $0A). Needless to say, this has sufficiently munged the files to make them unuseable. (I wrote a program to convert all $0D, $0A pairs into just $0D, but even the converted copy won't unpack properly...) The moral: BINSCII ANYTHING YOU PLACE ON THE NET! Fine, it takes 33% longer to upload and download, but then it's 99% more likely to work (notice how often even a BINSCII file gets munged--binary files are 10 times more fragile...). All it takes in one stupid EBCDIC computer to munge a binary file. The mini/mainframe world hasn't learned what 8-bit binary data is yet, so please, BINSCII all binary files!

Well, it's already on most of the Apple II archives, considering that it was sent across on comp.binaries.apple2 a year or so ago. Look in usenet/comp.binaries.apple2/Lang on wuarachive.wustl.edu; grab the README file in usenet/comp.binaries.apple2 for information on the archive. --Chan ................

I thought that we decided the last this time came up that it wasnt leagal
to post commercial software even if the company IS out of business?

You know me Larry, I'd never give out legal advice in a forum like this@@.
However I would note that this is an area (Distributing copyrighted software
of a corporation that has gone out of business) could be a sticky one. Just
because the publishing entity goes out of business does not (I think) end the
copyright. The copyright might revert to the original author or be distributed
as part of the winding up of the business.
@@ Insert standard disclaimer here. Yes I am an attorney but I really don't
know much about copyright law. I'd just suggest that anyone should take great
care in a situation like this.
One point for example is some of the early Apple II games written by Glen
Bredon reverted to him when the publisher went out of business. GLEN put at
least one of them in the Public Domain but that was his choice.
