K&R.  Actually it describes itself as being c++, whatever that means....

HyperC was oriniginally called c++, before C++ was named for object oriented
C. HyperC does not describe itself as C++, but does describe itself as K&R
with extensions. It has a lot of ANSI in it, but blew it by using non-standard
function names. A little experimentation will yield equivalent names. If in
doubt try using Apple's names as found in their ROM listings.
