I've pared the program test.c down to the bare essentials:

main()
{
   printf("This is a test\n");
}


When I compile this under Lattice C 5.10 with the command

lc -L test

everything works as expected.  However, when I compile it with the command:

lc -Lamiga test

When I run the program with the command "test," nothing happens.  I am returned
to my AmigaDOS prompt, with no string having been printed.

Can anybody tell me what the heck is going on here?

On a related note, could anybody direct me to a decent reference on using the
AmigaDOS functions from C?  All I want to do is raipdly read a binary file
into a memory buffer.  The Amiga O/S is new to me, and I am not familiar with
all its quirks.  And I don't seem to have a reference on hand that would care
to explain any of these quirks regarding reading files.

Thanks,
