specter@disk.UUCP (Byron 'Max' Guernsey) (10/06/89)
In a previous article, maybe 5 or 6 articles ago, someone had said something about pro's writing programs in C and downloading the binary to the c64. Can you elaborate on this a bit? I have always been interested in how great 64 games get written. (Meaning that there are no real good compilors of C,Pascal for c64). So programmers writing totally on a c64 would be limited to assembly which is a cumbersome language! How can a binary source be ported between ms-dos and c64 and still work? Is the IBM used for development configured as a c64? How does the C compilor realize it must use c64 op-codes? Well please elaborate. It sounds like a difficult process at best, but I am listening....... -- Byron 'Maxwell' Guernsey | /// //\\ specter@disk.UUCP or | /// // \\ uunet!ukma!corpane!disk!specter | \\\/// //====\\ "Sometimes death is better..." - S.
