- The main differences between this version and the previous one are that the
- compiler engine is based on gcc-1.37 for MPW, and as such understands
- MPW-3.2 style include files directly, and secondly a significant effort has
- been made to make the interface more mac friendly. The framework is based
- on THINK Class Library, access to the compiler tools is via windows and
- menus, and a certain amount of documentation is built into the program.
- Other than the toolbox includes, only three files are needed to get going,
- but some example programs will be included.
-
- Learning the lesson from the previous version, this program has been tested
- on an LC-III and a Quadra 900 as well as a PowerBook 100. The compiler
- application runs only under sys-7 and requires a machine with about 8M of
- memory to compile non-trivial programs. The applications generated are
- potentially sys-6 capable, depending on what toolbox facilities are called.
-
- This version is described as a 'demo' since it lacks a standard C library,
- and facilities for automated builds, scripts etc., and it generates
- applications only. Only MacsBug debugging is supported. However it is in no
- way crippled and these features could (I won't say easily) be added if
- there is interest. Like the previous version, this program is Postcardware.
-
- Thankyou for your interest in supporting the previous version and supplying
- valuable feedback.
