renaming the file from ACC to PRG. It gives some sample code and a RSC to C
dumper program as well. Oh yes, the examples for C programs.

guidlines in the articles (i.e. no menu bars as DA can't have them).
 
I use Mark Williams C and WERCS as my major development tools. Any ideas folks??
 
P.S. I am looking for any good examples of GEM AES/VDI C code in MWC form.
 Aren't
there *ANY* C programmers out there??
 
P.P.S. someone mentioned the great docs for the Prospero C compiler but said

the GEM AES/VDI was mainly from the DRI IBM version. Does anyone own the
 Prospero?
Care to comment about the docs?
 
P.P.P.S. How about the Lattice C compiler version 5?? I have been trying to
 order
it from my local (Phoenix AZ USA) ST store, but no one distributes it in the USA

could ship overseas?? I would really like to get the new vers
