Reply to the person who mentioned the Atari C compiler ported to IBM:-
You mean the Sozobon C compiler??  Yes, I saw that one too on the
comp.os.minix group...  The person said however, that the compiler was
100K, optimizer was around 50K etc...  not for the apple I'm afraid,
however, there was also another compiler posted in the Atari binaries->
something like Mark Johnson C (Not to be confused with Mark Williams
C)...  maybe that one is a bit smaller...  would someone like to take a
look???

Also, a reply to a different subject:-
Hyper C DOES have a float type, it DOES have a char type (text is more
like a string type - in pascal array [1..n] of char) It also has support
for scanf but it hasn't been put into the standard library (unfortunately,
the scanf fn must be inserted by means of an include file (which is on
the back side along with the source (again which I have not had time to
pack and upload yet...)  )

Another reply to yet a different subject:-
Regarding the comment by someone who had the Professional Hyper C
package...  I saw an article in Nibble a while back regarding copyrights
after bankruptcy (Legal Bits column) I can't seem to find it now- does
anyone know which issue it was in??  I'm pretty sure that the copyrights
remain intact for the normal amount of time even after bankruptcy...
but if not it would be a good excuse to upload the prodos version...
I'd like to make sure though.
Also, the CDOS version of HyperC does NOT run a modified DOS3.3, more
like a cross between UNIX and ProDOS (1K blocks, memory resident
superblock, directory on track 0) It DOES compile native 6502/65c02 code
in addition to pcode and it IS shareware according to the title screen
("Send $xx.xx to ....  for the manuals and disk") I have the manual for
the CDOS version, but it is not very helpful (obviously as it is a
shareware product oriented more towards promotion of the "real" thing
than anything else) Is the Professional version manual any good?  and
for that matter does it list the authors so we can try contacting them
to get permission to release it to the public??

Chris
