Yep, but without visiting the URLs that Ullrich provided, I'd interpret his comment "Yes, Atari people often stop half way through:-)" so that the Atari-hosted cc65 ancestor isn't a full C compiler. I remember reading that cc65 documentation (before Ullrich started his project). For floating point arithmetics, they use the Atari BASIC interpreter routines. If I remember correctly. the C syntax for "float" was just char[6] or something. BTW, now I think I remember the address of the probably first C64-hosted HTTP server that used a SLIP connection to a *nix (Linux?) box. It was at c64.rhein-neckar.de. I found this article with Google: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/misc/arkiv/cbm-hackers/2/2318.html Marko ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
