- I managed to get a verison compiled under SAS/C 5.10b, but it did not work as
- well as the orginal binary. The biggest problems I had was figuring out how
- to convert the Aztec inline assembly code into the few assembly level functions
- that SAS/C supports. There were also other minor source code problems and
- of course the Makefile had to be rewritten.
-
- General comment on programming practice:
- I really dislike the use of assembly code mixed in with the C source code.
- This is NOT a good practice to follow if you want your program to have any
- chance at portability even on the same machine.
