Manx Software Aztec C for HDOS

[glenn.f...@gmail.com]

I have posted the disk images and documentation for Manx Software Aztec C on the SEBHC Wiki site:

https://github.com/sebhc/sebhc/wiki#manx-software-systems

 

there are two sets of disks: Aztec C and Aztec CII (the latter being a more recent release).  The manual is also posted. You’ll need to load the files from Aztec C first, then overlay the Aztec CII ones on top. There are 8080 and Z80-based versions of the tool and you’ll need to rename the appropriate one to CC.ABS.  these files are in H8D format, consistent with how Les has laid out the site.

 

I have just begun to look at the compiler myself so don’t have any guidance, suggestions or commentary as yet except to note that Aztec CII requires more RAM. You may have to unload some device drivers or otherwise free up memory and you’ll need a fully-loaded system (56K for HDOS).  I will be curious to see how this compares to our (well, at least my) old favorite Software Toolworks C/80.

 

Many thanks to Rick Davis for this “rescue”!

 

(p.s. I think someone said they have the CP/M version??  I’m happy to post that as well…)

Thank you, everyone involved!

I have started to experiment with Aztec C.  I’ve started a Discord thread to capture notes, comments, discussion…

Linker worked. My setup has everything on sy2

You need the -L option for the linker

sy2:ln sy2:exmpl.o -L sy2:libc.lib

Glenn,

When I click on the link, I get a blank board. Is there something I need to do to use it?

“Where is  the Software Toolworks C/80 posted?”

 

A little disorganized…

 

There’s some here:

https://sebhc.github.io/sebhc/software.html

 

 

And on the Wiki (I think these are essentially the same as above but just HDOS?):

https://github.com/sebhc/sebhc/wiki

 

 

And Mark has some Software Toolworks stuff too:

https://heathkit.garlanger.com/software/library/TheSoftwareToolworks/

 

 

for HDOS your best bet is to use C-80 rev 3.1 and if you need floats and longs use the 3.0 Mathpak (I believe there was a 3.1 mathpak but haven’t spotted it in the wild!)

 

for CP/M I have full C-80 3.1 and Mathpak 3.0 but its on soft sectored floppy and I don’t think I’ve got a copy on any of my active hard drives (nor do I have a 5.25” soft sectored drive connected at the moment).  At some point I’ll push that to the site…
