[comp.sys.atari.st] MiNT library patchlevel 4

7103_2622@uwovax.uwo.ca (Eric Smith) (11/17/90)

Patchlevel 4 of the MiNT library (for the gcc) is now available at
atari.archive.umich.edu (check the directory atari/newitems). There are
two files:
mntlib4.zoo: source code for gnu*.olb, and all include files
mntolb4.zoo: compiled .olb files (including curses, pml, and gem) plus
   all include files

The latter file is provided for the benefit of those who had trouble
compiling patchlevel 3. It also provides an alternative for those getting
the gcc for the first time; all the necessary libraries are here in one
package.

There are a number of bugfixes in patchlevel 4 (including fixing the
infamous 16 bit malloc bug), some new functions (fopenp and tfork), and
some attempts to make the code a bit more in line with ANSI C and POSIX.
