 Regardless of Manx's documentation, you have to call all their Rom
routine stubs with 32-bit parameters. The return values are also
'really' 32-bit quantities, but you can cheat and call them 'short'
sometimes without harm. Also, watch out for other mistakes in their
functions.h file; they made a couple of whoppers.

 While Gimpel Lint is one of those programs which really cry out for
lots of memory, a 68020, and a fast HD, it's also one of the more
important utilities for Amiga C programmers, especially Aztec C
programmers. It's relatively cheap and works pretty damn well; I think
every commercial developer working in C should get and use a copy. 

 ComicSetter lints cleanly ... does YOUR program?
