  Hi, this is my first time on the net, I hope it works
 (is this the password to enter the amiga news network or what?,
  if so, I guess I am in!)

  I (we) have the developer's version of Aztec C and bought it with
the intention of using it to build libraries to use with basic programs.
(First, a little background info, I am an undergrad CS student working in
a psych lab. I assist grad students with program development for use in
vision experiments. The amiga was bought for this lab because of its
graphics capabilities.
The grad students all use basic programs to run their experiments but also
need some functions which basic can't (?) provide e.g. a real-time clock
to measure the subjects' response times hence needing microsecond accuracy.)
End of background info.

   I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to produce a .bmap file from
an Aztec C library file. There was a program included with BasicDemos
called ConvertFD but I am not sure what an .FD file is or even how to make
it.
As well, is there any way to access the other Amiga libraries from Basic.
There was a graphics.bmap and a dos.bmap file included with Basic but not
intuition.bmap (to use the mouse's right key for something other than menus
in BASIC) or any of the other amiga libraries. 

As a further request, if someone has Robert Peck's sample program on
Vsprites, Bobs and Double Buffering could you please post it to the
net or reply to me with it.
                         thanks in advance for any help
                                 chicken
