I've been recently experimenting with HyperC and have a few questions for anyone who has any experience with this program... How do you set the path properly to find the cc, ccn or ca files if you copy them to a ramcard? Currently I copy most of the program files and restart from the ramcard. Is there still a manual for sale from the developers of this program? I've noticed that some source programs from other C systems have more header files than are supplied with HyperC. Could someone direct me to a source for creating my own header files for the current standard of C? What book would you recommend for learning C? ANDY.

Greetings,
The HyperC compiler on Apple2-l seems to be defective. At least, it
didn't work for me. I seem to remember receiving two copies of one of the
files, which were not the same. This may have screwed me up. Could somebody
either send me a working copy, or tell me how to make the existing copy on
the list work properly?
Thanks much,
Bill D.

The hyperc disks don't work? try "-c.system" or double click "gs.system" from the finder on the GS. Note that you do not need to keep the files on 5 1/4" disks, move them to 3.5's or a hard disk. HyperC is very disk intesive, so a large RAMdisk is the best option (rename it /csys to make life a bit easier). Micheal Pender: prtWrite automatically sends output to slot 1, _prtInit (1) and _prtvid() are redundant. Alternatively leaves these in and replace prtWrite with putchr(char). putchr sends characters through the currently active output hooks, in the case of prtvid, it "tees" the data to both the printer driver and the video driver. One final option is to use putprt(char), this sends the char to slot 1 regardless of the output hooks and will only send a single character, which seems to fit best with your code fragment. I have written a limited scanf function (doesn't support floating point and a couple of other ANSI features), send me mail if you are interested. I have no need for this myself, I have my own assembler routines which are much faster and much smaller. To those who have specific questions you can send me private mail. However, I can not initiate private mail, I can only respond to mail received (reliably). Eric McGillicuddy Apple II Evangelist (and I mean that!!!)

1. I'm working on interfacing graphics routines to Hyper C,
but I can't get the machine language routines to pass values back to
the calling routine. Can somebody tell me why this doesn't work? It
passes back the value of like one of the parameters sent to it instead?
If anyone is interested, I have all the other lo-res routines working,
and in a library.

2. I still have no clue how to call upon the printer for use within
a program. I'd love to see a code sample if possible.
3. Any ideas on how to make an independent system file that could run
without all the associated files?
4. I also want to use high resolution graphics, but invoking them
tends to eat the space the program occupies. I thought perhaps I could
use an anchored array in the space from 0x4000 - 0x6000 so that Hyperc
wouldn't try to use it for anything, but no luck. Is there a way?
If so, where did I go wrong?
#include <std.h>
struct graphic_st
{
unsigned int color : 1;
unsigned int pixel : 7;
} plane[8192] @0x4000;
main(void)
{
int i;
char *j;
j = 0xc057; /* HGR on */
i = *j;
j = 0xc050; /* TEXT off */
i = *j;
j = 0xc055 /* DP2 on */
i = *j;
for(i = 0 ; i < 8192; i++)
{
plane[i].color = 1;
plane[i].pixel = (i % 128);
}
for(i = 1 ; i < 8192; i++)
printf("%d ", plane[i]);
}
Please reply to me personally, I doubt this interests many people anymore.
Thanks. Mike.

Well, I have dloaded the HyperC files from Plains and Kentucky more
times than I care to remember and I still have a problem.
.
I am unable to unshrink the file Hyperc.sdk that should unshrink
to the CSYS disk. It simply wont begin to unshrink or it just c
crashes ShrinkIt. I have tried every version of ShrinkIt around
(except for the GS ver) and stillno good.
.
Coulld someone, anyone, please ShrinkIt and BINSCII this file and
email it to me. I have all of the other files here and will keep them
and redistribute to whoever wants them, But It is all useless without
the CSYS disk.

In fact I don't even know if it works, I've been having trouble running it from my hard drive of late.

Place the "patch" on your HyperC and double click it. That's all. I do not think a hard drive works properly, unless it is in the root or the volume is called "/csys". I'll look into it.

There is a notice at the startup of the program stating that if you are using this manual without the docs, you can send $35 to an address that is no longer valid. It does not explicitly state "shareware" anywhere in the program or documentation, however the CDOS version is officially PD, and the screen does ask for money for documentation, so....

Is HyperC a GS specific language or //e & GS? > >-- > stug@pro-palmtree.cts.com HyperC is a C compiler designed specifically to run on 8-bit Apples. It is a port from the Mac HyperC (the authors claim it took them only a month to do th port given the portability of the C source code). The environment uses a text shell like Orca, but the syntax is much different and is more like BASIC.SYSTEM than UNIX. GS owners should go with Orca/C (particularly 1.2), but IIe owners have little other choice. One advantage of HyperC is that it is optimized for size, so a program fits more comfortably in 64k than one would expect. Also it has an overlay linker that should allow segmente dprograms to run efficiently, although I have never gottern it to work properly. A problem is that it defaults to compiling to psuedo-code and then interpreting it, much like Applesoft, however if you are willing to take the size hit (about 20% bigger) you can compile to true native 6502 machine language.
