More to follow in the days ahead as I lead-up to the eagerly anticipated and
long-overdue 2013 AppleX Aztec C65 cross-compiler update, for I have
promises to keep and lines to code before I sleep.

If you use AppleWin please read the notes about the AppleWin debugger and
hgrServer in the Bin2Rag document.

For AppleWin Users, I have also placed an updated version of:

Thanks for taking a look Antoine. That means a lot to me.

It can be interesting if viewed from certain historical perspectives...

It's been quite awhile since I wrote a Windows program in C but the
incredible amount of work that has gone into AppleWin since I last took a
look 4 or 5 years back inspired me. It was great fun.

As far as the Aztec C65 stuff goes, I realize of course that it will
probably go nowhere.

But both Windows C and Aztec C are like latin and the memories of old
programmers, and they don't change, and vanish unless they are actively
used. So for the sake of history and retro-computing, I wanted to move this
forward and have some fun with it so those memories of mine don't vanish and
remain an active part of the Apple II community's identity FWIW.

Besides that, I wanted to write some of this down FWIW. I am fully aware
that the old csa2 crew that was into Aztec C is no longer around. For this
reason alone I am motivated to see that this stuff remains on record, and
their work as well:

Phade, Phoenyx, RubyWand, PaulRSM and others...

Now back to "work"... I mean "play" of course.

At a certain future point I will probably be inspired to pull-out my GS and
my ORCA C and at that point I will pay some more attention to what you are
doing but for now I am going with this "update" for Aztec C65 as my personal
theme for Spring 2013.

I would like to get a short list of popular graphics formats for the GS from
the early days at some point, and their specifications, but that can of
course wait since I am planing to live another 30 years so I still have some
time to play as long as my eyes hold-out.

Regards,

Bill

When real life will be less time consuming, I may explain the different IIgs graphic file formats!

I can wait...

After your kids grow-up and they have their own kids, and if you have
enough money to relax, then we can talk about this again... or if you get
some time before that of course.
