[Coco] "C" Compiling Was: New CoCo site for programmers

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Gene, please do not take this badly, we all are responsible.

When I signed on to Delphi at 300 baud it was a new world. I still have the
transcript of that session and many others. That's how part of what I will
be describing can be helped.

The files offered had one line descriptions and long descriptions, some
quite long. That was back in the 1980s.

Now today, well into the Twenty-first Century, on RTSI and perhaps your 
site,
we have ...... *filenames only* . ................

I consider this a great step back.

------------------------------- 

What I hoped that you would be providing was not the files but a description
of the compiling process for "C" identifying the various programs in the
process and noting why you chose them.

I may be able to recognize which programs are used and figure out how to use
them but some other interested persons may not be able to.

I do not know if it still would be useful but I had a system that after
editing part of "Colorful SLED" or other program under development, I just
invoked a shell script and all the rest was automated using several shell
scripts and "make" which is missing from your site.

I expect that I would learn new things and others would also. Your words I
would suggest be offered to the new Webmaster to be built into a web page
with "Color", diagrams and pictures.

To balance out the age of pictures on the Internet, I offer this one:
