I am just playing with GCC on the ST and find it great! However, I dont know where to find the documentation for the stuff. Is there a complete set of words for it - and if so where? I would really like to find docs for all the functions.. printf() and all the stuff. The few docs that I have seen are in TEX format - that is not a lot of help for the people out here whe love GCC but hate TEX! ..Here's hoping ..Clive ps - please post any replies to the net as my account is off at the moment and cannot, i think receive mail... :w

atari.archive's gnustuff directory in under reconstruction at the moment. You will find docs in ~ftp/atari/gnustuff/Doc. I will run a detex program on them to produce a plain ascii version.

There aren't yet any docs for the ST library, however, most of the functions are from either ANSI C or UNIX, and so a good book on one or both should tell you what you need to know. Incidentally, if you not already using it, it's a good idea to go for Eric Smith's MiNT library (even if you don't have MiNT) as it means that your programs will almost certainly behave when used by those of us who do use MiNT. >The few docs that I have seen are in TEX format - that is not a lot >of help for the people out here whe love GCC but hate TEX! Unfortunately (for you, anyhow), the GNU project's standard text formatter is TeX, so you're kind of stumped there! (Perhaps someone could post the info files built from the docs so that we don't all have to make them?) -- /* 'Grave' Dave Gymer --------- Internet: dpg@Cs.Nott.AC.UK *\ +* 42 St Marys Park, Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11 0EF, England *+ +* Olivier's Law: "Experience is something you don't get *+ \*-------------------------- until just after you need it." */

It should be easy enough to run them off though, or view them directly, as they are just text files. -- -- bang: uunet!cadence!bammi jwahar r. bammi domain: bammi@cadence.com GEnie: J.Bammi CIS: 71515,155

I have one for emacs (called detex.el) that I can mail to anyone interested. It should also be avaible on major emacs-lisp ftp-sites. I haven't tried it though, so I don't know how good it is. One probably looses a lot of structure (chapters, sections, headings and such) in the process, I guess. Christian Lynbech DAIMI University of Aarhus,DK-Denmark email: lynbech@daimi.aau.dk
