In a previous article, maybe 5 or 6 articles ago, someone had said something
about pro's writing programs in C and downloading the binary to the c64. Can you
elaborate on this a bit? I have always been interested in how great 64 games get
written. (Meaning that there are no real good compilors of C,Pascal for c64).
So programmers writing totally on a c64 would be limited to assembly which is
a cumbersome language! How can a binary source be ported between ms-dos and 
c64 and still work? Is the IBM used for development configured as a c64? How
does the C compilor realize it must use c64 op-codes? Well please elaborate. It
sounds like a difficult process at best, but I am listening.......
