Is it possible to let GCC create programs that do not use ixemul.library?
It should be possible with a new startup module and a new c.lib. Are there
any freely distributable versions of startup module/c.lib which can be
used with GCC?

To be honest, math stuff is not something we play with every day,
but you should be able to override any default we are setting.

Same as above.

Perhaps a short (but complete) code sample that we would run here
is in order so that I can be sure we are on the same wavelength?

I would suggest using TexInfo. You type in straight ascii (unformated) with
some additional 'commands', and you get AmigaGuide, TeX, ascii (formated) and
GNU Info. Very nice pice of software.

suggested that I use "sevtbuf(stdout,NULL,0,-1);" for RAW: mode, but it
doesn't seem to work... isn't there an ESCape sequence that would change a

Yes, Aztec has known problems with the '040.  The debuggers don't
work at all, and I think some of the standard link library's routines
have trouble too, though I don't recall which ones.  I think overlays
had trouble but somebody fixed that -- the fix is not in the 5.2a
package but can be gotten from their bbs, or I might have it.

Although I don't have E yet (I may take a look), I can make a few
observations:

1) C is just as case sensitive.

2) You may be able to roll your own by interfacing directly to the
   math libraries.

Hold on!  You're seeding the random number generator with the SAME values!  All
the random number seed does is basically begin a constant chain of psuedo
random numbers.

If you did...

Randomize 2
?Rnd(100),Rnd(100),Rnd(100)
Randomize 2
?Rnd(100),Rnd(100),Rnd(100)

You'd get the same sequence of three numbers on both lines!  Why?  Because you
are resetting the pseudo random sequence back to its effectual beginning!! 

If, however, you do...

Randomize 2
?Rnd(100),Rnd(100),Rnd(100)
Randomize Timer
?Rnd(100),Rnd(100),Rnd(100)

The two lines of numbers should be different (unless of course Timer equates to
2 at that moment!).  Running it over and over again would produce the same
numbers for the first line and different numbers for the 2nd!  Why?  'Cause
Timer, when used as a seed, generally (most likely) is different at every
execution, thus giving you a new pseudo sequence.  It's not broken at all!!!

	Yeah, I agree.  I managed to get the ColorSpec structure to do

	The array with the 32bit rgb values terminated by a -1.  But

Correct: if D1 < D0 then the internal CMP subtraction (D1-D0) gives a
negative number so you can write "if(D1 < D0)"

Ick.  Use something like C instead, *please*.  AMOS is so ridiculously sloppy
(not to mention incompatible, backward-thinking, and several expletives that
come to mind when "AMOS" is mentioned) that I don't understand how people can
use it and call their results "programs."

You'll be most interested in looking into chapters on projectile motion and

I've used PowerWindows for years.  It's a 1.3 utility that allows
you to graphically describe your windows, gadgets and menus, then
it generates the source code for you.  However, it's only
1.3 based - and does a fine job - but for 2.x users I suggest
you find GadToolsBox, a PD replacement (PowerWindows is commercial)
that does the same sorts of things, but with all the bells and whistles
added with 2.x.
