I have started to look at writing programs under Mint, but I only have Sozobon C. Are there any libraries for Mint that can be used with Sozobon C? The only libraries I can find are for GCC (i.e .olb files). Is it possible to convert these for use with Sozobon? Thanks Marcus

Porting this to Sozobon is certainly possible, although potentially difficult. Some of the functions (e.g. in the stdio library) originally came from dLibs anyways, although Jwahar Bammi and I (and other people as well) have hacked on them quite a bit. -- Eric R.

I get the impression that David Parsons (orc) has already done this in
conjunction with his work on Bauble UUCP (see comp.sources.atari.st).
Maybe he can be persuaded to release his libraries.
On a related note, is there any further info on a new release of
Sozobon C?
And does *anybody* have the full set of sources and examples for GEMFAST
version 1.5?

Yes, but there's one *little* *tiny* problem - there is no documentation of libc - I've been trying to write documentation, but writing documentation for a library takes the concept of staggeringly dull to a previously unknown and unimagined level. And they're rather personalized - I've only spent the effort trying to make the bits I need to use work properly, and the other bits, many of which I've liberated from dLibs, are just the way they've always been. I'll be happy to email copies of my libraries and header files to people, but I get the sneaky suspicion that they are in no way mature enough to feed to comp.{binaries|sources} __ .david parsons \/
