I'm pretty new at programming C, and even newer at programming the Mac
in C, so I was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers (no
pun intended).  I've written a few programs without dialogs or menus
or any of that "fancy" stuff (just ANSI printf and scanf).  The only
toolbox routines these programs use are MoveTo and LineTo (and a loop
to check for a mouse click).  What I'm wondering is, the programs
seem very slow for a supposedly fast language.  Am I doing something
wrong?  Should I program them differently?  What?
I'm using Think C 4.0.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
(P.S. Anyone wanna take a programmer under their wing? :-)
