[comp.sys.dec.micro] Mark Desmet C compiler for Rainbow

dubois@fnylog.enet.dec.com (06/13/90)

	I am looking for following information concerning the Mark
	Desmet C compiler and assembler :

	- were to get the latest copy and what is the price ?
	- has anyone written routines to access the Rainbow graphics using
	  this compiler ?
	- is there more documentation available on how to use the assembler ?

	The latest package is found is PCC12C.ARC on Simtel

	Thanks.

    As far as I know, the latest is the copy you found on
SIMTEL20. It's being released as shareware now, probably to
avoid competing with the big boys in the commercial market.

    I used an early version of it (sorry, I don't remember which
number exactly). I wrote some routines in assembly language for
using the Rainbow firmware. While this isn't the same as graphics,
if you'd like a copy I'd be glad to send them to you.
