No problem, you've been very helpful, and I managed to figure out what
was going on anyway.

I think newlib provides it.

This would be the best way.  There isn't OSS support, which is why I
didn't look at it.  I've also not written any code-related code before
which doubles the difficulty.

Good idea.

I have some Amiga port related details if you want them.

I used it once before about 5 years ago, through a GUI (that's a
"no").  I already have a Sourceforge username - chris_y
