Small-C is PD and this small-c port is just that, so the compiler has to
be free! If he owns the editor or is licesned he can charge for that and
*maybe* any unique io routines to talk to the sam operating system, as long as
they're his own work entirely!
I do realise though that it's everyone else not the person whose ported
it that's talking of paying cash for the pd product,
All that aside Small-c version2 is infinatly better than spectrum HiSoft
C even if it isn't an ANSI compliant C! floats arn't a great loss in C but
many file processing utils would be lost without long & ulong data types!
I'll have a look at the cp/m port and cpc native ports to see what's
involved, when I get some free time:-)
I hope he's altered the optimiser so that it correctly recognises the new
comet assembler source format....
The porting of HiTech C to sam native mode would be a bit difficult as
the supplied source only covers all the lib functions and the C.COM
commandline parser/pseudo-make part.
The source to the pre-processor, syntax-checker, code-generator,
peep-hole optimiser, assembler and linker they've kept to tghemselves to stop
complete ports! There's only enough to make a cross-compiler from CP/M.
CYL.
