C & Assembler on the cbm-64
Please help me!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am programming C on a UNIX-system. It naturally would be nice
to be able to use C at home too. Therefore I would be really
greatful if someone told me the name of a polite, fast and compatible
C-compiler on the cbm-64. I've borrowed one, but it is really driving
me crazy. It is not compatible with any other C-compiler on any computer.
It doesn't even handle simple tasks as 'char s[]' , 'getc()' and 'puts()'
correctly.
One other thing I've wanted for long, is an advanced, capable and
standardized ASSEMBLER for the cbm-64. I'd be most thankful if anyone
would give me names on such ones. I've got one ASSEMBLER, but it
doesn't even follow the 6502/6510-standard assembly code.
If there by any chance would exist "public domain" programs
on the above mentioned, then I'd really like to SWAP!!!!

I've borrowed one, but it is really driving I'm not sure which compiler you're talking about but there are only two C compilers available for the C-64: Power C (C-Power) by Spinnaker and Super C by Abacus. I've tried Super C and really didn't like it (I don't remember why though). Now I have Power C and it seems to be pretty nice. It seems to adhere to the K&R standard. I've heard of some of the bugs but they aren't that significant. Also, it seems that all the users on this news uses C-Power. So getting help and feedback is really a plus. Also, you mentioned the need of an assembler for the 6502/6510. Well, you're in luck. Mark Rinfret has written a 6502 assembler for the c64 in the C-Power environment. The program is public domain is comparable is many professional ones. Hope this has helped. Chikin Joe (jchikin@polyslo.UUCP) 61 N. Broad St. #216 San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 544-0907
