This might be of interest to folks trying to compile programs
written with AmigaDos I/O (Read(), etc) on a Un*x or DOS machine.

Try making a bunch of #defines, such as:

#ifndef AMIGA
#   include <stdio.h>
#   define BPTR FILE *
#   define Close(x) fclose(x)
#   define Open(x,y)  fopen(x,y)
#   define Read(x,y,z) read(fileno(x),y,z)
#   define Write(x,y,z) write(fileno(x),y,z)
#   define MODE_OLDFILE "r"
#   define MODE_NEWFILE "w"
#   define Input()  stdin
#   define Output() stdout
#   define Printf printf
#endif

I've had pretty good luck getting stuff to compile under Un*x that
way.  You can do the reverse as well, as long as you remember which
Un*x stdio calls not to use.  Have to remember that MODE_NEWFILE is
not really the same as "w", etc, as well.  Works for ARP stuff too,
such as the Printf->printf above.
