Does the Aztec compiler support the UNIX system calls, or just the generic ones like fopen? Is curses supported [yes, I'm dreaming]? -- "Portable source code?!? I'M not going anywhere..."

Is curses supported [yes, I'm dreaming]? Obviously, no Apple II C compiler is likely to support fork(), ptrace(), etc. Manx's Aztec C65 does have open(), read(), etc. and a limited subset of ioctl(). Curses is not supported, but there is an alternate screen display library included, as well as a library simple plotting graphics routines. I've used Aztec C on my Apple II for several years and am generally pleased with it. Its two biggest drawbacks are that it works only in 8-bit mode and it has limited support; apparently other computers such as the Macintosh are more profitable markets. An annoying but perhaps inevitable feature is that it takes a long time to compile even moderately large sources, and it is best used with a hard disk (two 5.25" disks is the absolute minimum but is too tedious to recommend).

aztec suports the system independant functions of unix...
i favor aztec (prodos)because its shell has environment variables
and search path=s for libs, includes and cmds, shell scripts too.
that makes it more unix-like than other c dev. systems i've seen (yet).
also diff grep and arc are nice too have.
