Orca/C outputs in obj files if you desire, so you can easily link in asm65816, pascal, apw c, rez code, etc, etc, etc. Anything that will output OBJect files will work. (orca/pascal, tml pascal [not II], rez, asm65816, apw c). Thats one of the nicest things about the byteworks stuff. Byteworks doesn't ship the APW Tools like rez, linkiigs, canon, etc. You need to plop down $50 to APDA and buy them (they're called The APW Tools & Interfaces, I believe). Be sure you really need them first though. LinkIIgs is, imho, not necessary when you've got ZAPLINK, the awesome new [fast] linker by Byteworks. $10-15 upgrade fee, I think its free with orca/c upgrade. And of course it comes with all new orca/pascal, orca/m, and orca/c packages. You can use DESIGNMASTER (by Byteworks/Chris Haun) or GENESYS (by SSSi) to create your windows, menus, resources, etc, etc. Both are very good, the major difference is genesys can read in resources (ie, edit released programs to change menus, windows, etc). Designmaster only writes. Not a real biggie. I've got them both, you can't go wrong with either one. -- 6600prao@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu/ucsbuxa.bitnet america online: AFA PARIK genie:P.RAO
