What is the latest release of Aztec C for the Amiga? Have any major improvements been made since 3.6a? This version guru's when I try to compile certain large files with source debugging turned on. In Aztec C, what must one do to fopen(filename, "wb")? The documentation implies that this is the default condition, but I do not trust it. Why am I so interested in Aztec C when I have a brand new copy of Lattice C 5.0 on my desk? It CXERRs and dies on certain modules, and its ANSI preprocessing has bugs. I am amazed at how Amiga people are able to write wonderful programs despite these products, and am wondering if anyone knows of a better C compiler for the Amiga. Please respond via email. Is anyone from Lattice or Manx in this group? -- | Clint Jeffery, University of Arizona Department of Computer Science | cjeffery@arizona.edu -or- {noao allegra}!arizona!cjeffery --

MS-DOS files aren't, and the C runtime library has a kludge in it to make them look right unless you specify "b" mode. So, there's no "binary" mode on the Amiga. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' Hackercorp. ...texbell!sugar!peter, or peter@sugar.uu.net 'U`
