68000 C Compiler
   Brandt, Matthew
   $?
   #568
is an optimizing C compiler for the Motorola 68000 processor and is meant for
educational purposes. You can learn a lot about writing a compiler by studying
the source files on this disk. Since this code was written for a machine with
long integers it may exhibit some irregularity when dealing with long integers
on the IBM-PC. The author makes no guarantees. This is not meant as a serious
development tool although it could, with little work, be made into one.

pictures you build using a full screen graphics editor. You can build quite
complex graphic pictures using graphic primitives such as circles, lines or
polygons. It generates code that can be used in your own applications to
produce sophisticated graphic designs, logos, games, and more. Requries
EGA/VGA, a mouse, and a hard disk or high density floppy.

Clasic
   #27284/2643 [2 disks]
is a C/2 compatible compiler written in assembly language over a three year
period by graduate students working under a Federal grant. It is professional
quality, but no documentation is included, so it is of interest mainly to those
already versed in C.

Michael W. Joerms, Westmont, IL: "Sometimes after running this C compiler, I
will get the OS/2 equivalent of the GENERAL FAILURE message on my hard disk.
Rebooting makes the message go away, but it sure scared me the first time. Other
times, it gives an "invalid object module" during Link. It seems to work OK
under DOS."

PsL: Since this was a free program done by a group of graduate students, we
cannot get any additional information or bug fixes done. We recommend that
people use this compiler just with DOS.

Tiny Word Processor
   Stevens, Al
   $0
   #1982
is the C source code for the Tiny Word Processor, and SmallCom, a
communications program. These originally appeared in Dr. Dobb's Journal. The
author has revamped the code based on input from readers. Code is known to be
compatible with Turbo C 2.0, MSC and QuickC 2.0 and may work with other
compilers.

Martin Copeland, Australia: The header file microsoft.h was mistakenly
appended to the bottom of the file window.h instead of merely referring to it
with a #include "microsoft.h" . The result is that the Make file TWRP.MAK will
not compile. The section that begins #if COMPILER == MSOFT and ends #endif
should be extracted into a "microsoft.h" file.


TPrint
   Innovative Data Concepts ASP
   $50
   #3669
provides a hardware-independent method for designing reports and other printed
output. Features include the ability to print system date and time anywhere in a

Glockenspeil Turbo Pascal-to-QuickC Translator
   Microsoft Corp
   $0
   #1178
The name of the program and the name of the authoring company explains all.
(All except Glockenspiel, that is.)

David A. Price, Washington, DC: "This is obsolete because it only translates TP
programs through version 3.0. As you know TP changed drastically beginning with
version 4.0."

PsL: Although it's obsolete to many, we still get plenty of calls each month
from folks looking for older versions of programs because they ran across
something they need and the new stuff can't read/translate the old code or
files.
