First, I would like to thank all those who helped me locate EPiC recently.
I also FTP'd Fig 1.4 FS and Transfig. It took me a while to get Fig to
compile as the function blink() in the module blink is predeclared int,
but then defined as void. Once this was fixed, all went fine. I like very much
the combination of Fig and EPiC. Now my question. Has anybody ported Fig
to the DOS world? Especially with Turbo-C. Are the memory requirement such
that this is not practical? Any info on this would be interesting. Just
a thought. Francois
