I have seen many notices about C compilers for cp/m: bds c, aztec, etc. My question is - how easy is it for any of these compilers to link into a microsoft format library and call its routines. The libraries contain f80/m80 routines, and I want to call them from C, and link from these libraries. Please respond via email, I'll post a summary if enuff info is gathered. -- <--------------------------------------------------------------------------> <--- Simon Gales@University of Ky 263-2285/257-3597 ---> <--- [ simon@ms.uky.edu ] | [ simon@UKMA.BITNET ] ---> <-------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Also DRI's RMAC and LINK. RMAC and LINK do not support data areas initialized to non-zero constants. All these have a limitation of 6-7 character uppercase global symbols when used in the .rel mode. .

Which is another good reason not to use them. There are several good PD linkers which handle either case, although assemblers in general do not. Seven character globals are the limit if you want to stick with true .REL format; if not (like SLR), then you can have 16 chars. -Mitch
