Well, after sitting in my basement for 6 months, Manx C rev. 3.4b
got fired up last night. Not bad! Even with three libraries in
RAM:, leaving only 200K free memory, it cranked out the sample programs
quite nicely.
One problem: s:startup-sequence on disk 1 was munged. Since this
sets up the environment for the compiler, I had to go back and manually
SET a few environment variables. Does anyone have a good copy they
can send to me?
Now to the point of this note. The three distribution disks (I have
the middle level package) are pretty vanilla. Perhaps some of you more
experienced C wizards can suggest how to organize a good working
disk(s) which include the most commonly used tools and files. Also,
what should go into RAM: on a 512K machine? Manx's suggestion to put
c.lib there really speeds up linking.
How have you set up Manx C so it works well for you with your own
personal preferences?

This seemed as good a place as any to put this... Does anyone know what the status of Manx C version 4.0 is? I read something about it existing for demo purposes, but not yet on the market. If it's within a few months of release, I may wait for it (instead of buying 3.x). Also, does Manx (or Abel, etc.) offer a C package that includes the SDB, at an aggregate price less than the compiler + SDB bought separately? (I'm thinking of the Developer's version) Thanks for any info. KY | |||||

When my hard disk got sick I had to use MANX C with a single floppy.
Fortunately I had 2.5 meg. When I first power up a machine a copy
all the libraries, include files, the compiler and linker to VD0:
(a ram disk that survives a reboot). This setup worked so well
I considered selling my hard-disk! I could run all day doing heavy
duty hacking and VD0: never got corrupted. Also compilation, link
and reboot times were all dramatically improved. So... my
recommendation is to buy some RAM and get the VD0: utility.
Isn't that SDB a dream come true?
