G.I.S.T. will, in fact, work with Mark Williams C versions 2 and 3.
The trick is to use the Alcyon library from G.I.S.T., and run it
through the Alcyon-to-MWC converter that MWC provides.  You will have
to call the entry points by the appropriate names; apparently the
Alcyon object format only supports seven-character names, with the
underscores at the wrong end.  You can use the MWC utilities to find
out what these names are.  I've done this and it works fine.


Longish .signature follows.  Skip now.
