      From: lecoat@atari.org              Hi,              Henk Robbers writes:       > I disagree. I always considered 16 bit integers too small for       > a computer as modern as the ATARI ST having loads of ram.              Well, nowadays the Mathematica application on my computer is       4785606192 bytes. That makes me curious, because Eureka 2.12       is contained in a 720kb floppy, and runs entirely in 1Mb of RAM.              > (1966 mainframes are my objects of reference where ram was payed       > by the kilobyte).              That was my birth. At this period there was a Univac at the university       that was occupying an entire building, and worked with perforated cards.              > That's why I replaced all occurences of int in AHCC and its libraries       > by short and created the sinclude folder of header files.              That's how I use AHCC, with short includes compatible with PURE C.              > Still works like a charm.              For the moment, I can entirely build Eureka 2.12 with AHCC 5.5. But       it is not working exactly as expected. That gives me hope !              Best regards,              --        François LE COAT       Author of Eureka 2.12 (2D Graph Describer, 3D Modeller)       http://eureka.atari.org/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
