[Coco] OS9 C question

[Bob Devries]

OK.

Bill, it appears that the file mstest.c calls functions from the file 
mslib.c, so it's necessary to compile both together:

cc mstest.c mslib.c -o=mstest

I'm a bit rusty on the command line above. Someone can correct me if I'm 
wrong.

The header files called by mstest.c will probably be in various packages 
such as Multivue for example. Certainly, mouse.h is there (page 10-70 of the 
Multi-Vue C Language Graphics Library Support), and colors.h could be 
determined fairly easily from other parts of the several manuals.

Regards, Bob Devries
