The version of ARC that I posted was written for version 3.0 of the Mark
Williams C compiler. You might be able to get it working with 2.0 if you
rip out all the code to handle squashing, but 1.1 doesn't have a chance.
An archive containing the executable file for the ST was posted to the
newsgroup comp.binaries.atari.st, so you can still use ARC 5.21 on your ST
while you wait for your upgraded compiler to arrive.

The warning about nested comments is also present in 3.0. It's harmless.
I leave it in only so others can see what the original code looked like.
It's simple enough to change, and probably will be when I post the patches
I've put together.
