I've written two utilities that make it easier to work with the Logical
Systems Transputer Toolset on MS-DOS. With a little modification, the
utilities should also help a lot on Unix and VMS systems. The
utilities probably won't help that much on Macs.
I'm releasing the utilities to the public domain. I thought of posting
sources and docs to this newsgroup, but I thought that those on the
forwarded mailing list might not like getting 130-150K worth of data in
their mailboxes. Instead, would anyone out there be interested in
archiving my utilities and making them available for anonymous FTP?
Would anyone be interested in cross posting to CompuServe and other
appropriate places?
The utilities:
tcc -- Like a weak version of Unix 'cc'. Provides a single command-line
interface to the preprocessor, compiler, and linker. It creates
a batch file (or, someday, a shell script in Unix) containing calls
to the three language programs, then distributes flags on its
command line to the appropriate programs in the batch file.
Then it runs the batch file. Never invokes the linker.
tll -- Provides a command line interface to the linker. Converts command
line flags to a command file, then runs 'tlnk' or 'vtlnk' with
the command file.
Both utilities accept command line "metafiles" -- files containing
additional command line flags -- to help you get around DOS'
128-character limit. Documentation will be in ascii and Mac MS-Word
4.0 (binhexed) formats.
Everything will be released "as is", with no support from me or the
company I work for, Nth Graphics, Ltd.
Anybody feel like being an electronic archiver? Anybody feel like
being a snail-mail distributor?
