- That's not necessarily true. I've converted lots of Aztec C programs
- off the Fish Disks to use as test cases. About the only serious
- problem I've run into is if the programs use #asm a lot. (If they
- are, they could probably use rewriting anyway.) Since you can
- call functions with parameters in specific registes in SAS/C, a lot
- of the reasons for using #asm go away; also, the getreg() and putreg()
- built-in functions remove the need for a lot of #asm code.
-
- There is a section in the SAS/C 6.0 User's Guide on converting Aztec C
- options to SAS/C V6.0.
