- Okay, I got a few useful replies, some flames. I think this is
- going to be an interesting project. Let's try to get a little
- organised.
-
- Anyone who wants to participate, please send me this information
- about your C compiler and system:
-
- - type and version of compiler
- - type and version of OS
- - what are the compiler-specific define's you can rely on
- (e.g. __unix__, __MSDOS__, etc.)
- - what is the size of a char (e.g. 1)
- - what is the size of an int
- - what is the size of a long
- - can you use the prelude.h file as I posted it, or are
- there compiler errors: specifically, missing include
- files, undefined symbols.
- - what changes do you need to make to fix these errors
- - does your system support sockets
- - if so, what the include files are required
-
- All contributions will be credited, and I'll post the results
- when they are ready.
