I've seen a lot of discussion on the Pro-line C-Power compiler lately, so I'm
surprised no one has mentioned this problem (or does it only happen to me?):
cc a program. Drive churns. Disks are swapped. You must use here the original
C-Power disk, because the compiler is copy protected. Now try to link the
program. System crashes. Eye your fastload cartridge suspiciously.
   Yes, after doing a cc the drive memory is presumably shagged. The only way
I have seen to get around it is to cc, turn drive off then on, and link. I have
also had my data disk header mashed, the bam screwed up, and a directory
error (that's what it said) put on the disk. I am using Fastload, but someone
else who uses a Mach-128 in 64 mode also experienced the directory problems.
   Anyone know of any solutions? I have no complaints with C-Power aside from
this.

PS: I have interfaced C-Power to a library of machine language graphics
routines, which cover plot, line, circle (ellipse really), box, and filled box.
The only thing I am lacking is a fill routine. Has anyone got source (C or ML)
that they have written or is public domain? Something that I can modify to
call test(x,y) to check a pixel, and plot(x,y,pentype) to turn it on or off.
Please e-mail any responses. Thanks in advance.
