Re: Think C
Dear Folks,
We have a copy of Think C 4.0 (which is what we use to write some of
the test programs we run on the Macintosh), and it's not 32-bit
clean. I believe that Think C 5.0 *is* 32-bit clean, but still
doesn't run under Executor 1.2.1.
The only bug that we've fixed that I can think of that might result
in 1.3 being able to run Think C 5.0 is we now set a low-memory
global that says we're running on a 68040, where before we were
sending mixed signals, the CPUFlag said we were a 68000, but the
SysEnvirons call said we were a 68040.
Still, the above is a shot in the dark. I don't believe that we'll
be able to get ThinkC to go without actually getting a new copy.
It's not a high priority, because more people use spreadsheets and
word processors and play games than program.
However, if anyone has any contacts at Symantec, I'd cetainly be
willing to call one of them and beg for software. It usually works
if we have an "in".
BTW, if you're going to be near Denver on the 13th of this month (a
week from today) or Fort Collins on the 14th, try to catch my
presentation at the Rocky Mountain NeXT Users' group. You'll get to
see what's going to be in 1.3 and hear some (hopefully amusing)
stories of ARDI's early existence.
