Lines: 20 Whitesmith's is a really flunky implementation. In particular, one of it's many losses over which I have been losing much sleep is initialization, globablity, and pointer manipulation. These act in a most bizzarre (sp?) fashion on our Vax -> z80 version. In fact, I recently got Aztec C for Apple ]['s, and it adheres very faithfully indeed to K&R. It looks identical to V7 C. It even has the basic i/o syscalls and ioctls and a kernel (except that there is no seperate mode for it). Very very very nice. Except it compiles slow trying to get off of floppies. I think that says something about the z80 and/or Whitesmith's. I've come to hate both intensely. -Rehmi -- By the fork, spoon, and exec of The Great Basfour.
