HI-TECH C for MSX

About

This archive contains the C-command for Hitech-C, an almost fully ANSI-compatible C for CP/M and MSX-DOS. Because the routines EXECUTE and GETENV in the standard (CP/M) library don't work on an MSX, the original C.COM crashed. I have adjusted the programme so that it makes a batchfile that is started via the commandline (thus: the batchprocessor of MSX-DOS). The effect of this is that cammandlines cannot be longer than 128 bytes. That is why the filenames are shortened: The object files now end with .O instead of .OBJ. The object headerfile that has to be in every programme was named CRTCPM.OBJ and has now been renamed to CRT.O. These things can be found in the source of C.COM.
