- I've put hyperc16.bsq in the incoming subdirectory of the hyperc
- anonymous ftp site. This is a beta version, especially regarding
- IIgs users. This is a HYPERC specific application. Those without
- ftp access can send me a request via email and I'll send you a
- copy. It runs on 65802/816 Apple computers or compatibles.
- The hyperc anonymous ftp site is calvin.sfasu.edu.
-
- Previous versions of opsys16 used the 8 bit machine stack in page $1.
- This version uses a 16 bit machine stack directly.
-
- Opsys16x and opsys16 contain a true 16 bit cp-interpreter. Opsys contains
- an 8 bit cp-interpreter that emulates a 16 bit machine. Opsys, opsys16
- and opsys16x all run HyperC C programs compiled using the cc script. This
- includes the language tools pp, ppf, hyperc, asm65 asmcp and lnk as well as
- the lib and sym utilities.
-
- Caveats:
-
- I suggest that anyone with a hard drive, especially IIgs users, should
- use a disk version to test it initially, with the hard drive disconnected.
- This version disables interrupts on entry and on the shell 'bye' command
- restores the processor status register and any interrupts previously
- enabled. A later version will include 16 bit interrupt support.
-
- ccn compiled programs will put the opsys16x and opsys16 cp-interpreter
- in a state it cannot recover from. *** BEWARE ***.
