This is a sample disk of the DVC 
C compiler package.  The complete
package comes with a double sided
disk (64 files) and a 62 page manual.
If, after trying out this sample
disk, you decide you would like the
complete package, then send a check

     As you use the programs on this
disk, please keep in mind that this
is a sample version.  As such, the
documentation is brief & incomplete.
There are many more capabilites than
are presented here.  The purpose of
this disk is to let you try out prog-
amming in C before you decide whether
or not to purchase a C compiler.

     On the next screen is a compar-
ison table of various C compilers
running the sieve benchmark.  Times
given are in seconds; file size is in
bytes.

able for the Atari ST by Digital
Research.  Lattice is a top rated C
compiler available for the IBM PC.

     Here's how to compile a program
from DOS (options in brackets are
optionally included).

CC [filename(s)] [FASTC] [LINK] [RUN]

Or, from the editor:

filename [FASTC] [LINK] [RUN]
.

CC expects a C source filename with
the extension ".C" (added automat-
ically).  It creates an intermediary
file with the extension ".CCC".
FASTC will optimize the file.  LINK
links various ".CCC" and ".OBJ" files
using a file with the extension
".LNK", which contains a list of the
filenames to link together.  LINK
will create one if you don't.  The
file CIO.CCC (source is CIO.C) is
equivalent to the STDIO.H or runtime
file found in most C compilers.
.

       You can run a C program or any
program on this disk with the exten-
sion ".COM" by typing in it's name
after the DOS prompt (you don't have
to include the ".COM"). The following
files will be found on this disk:

CC.COM - compiler
LINK.COM - linker
FASTC.COM - optimizer
CEDIT.COM - C editor

CIO.CCC - runtime library
CIO.C - runtime source code

DCOPY.COM - file I/O (DUP.SYS)
DIR.COM - directory listing
TYPE.COM - lists files to screen

PMDEMO.COM - player/missile graphics
GR8PLOT.COM - high speed graphics

FCALC.C - floating point in C
FCALC.ACT - floating point in ACTION!
FCALC.ASM - floating point in
  assembly language

CUBE.* - game
LIFE.* - game
SNAKE.* - game

XEDRIVE - RAMDISK for 130XE
MOSDRIVE - RAMDISK for Mosaic boards
