[Coco] C Compiler Website / Archive Question

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Both of the two manuals I list appear to be clean perfect copies.

The one from NitrOS-9 may have started from a very poor scan I did decades 
ago but a huge amount of manual editing I believe has been done to produce 
what I converted to PDF.

Someone needs to step up and tell me how to give credit for some of the 
stuff I am assembling.

I have not started to compare the NitrOS-9 C Compiler with my printed 
version but I expect them to match.

I am unsure if I have a printed copy of K&R's C book. What I found on RTSI I 
would not expect to match.

If you are interested, please compare your printed books with the files.

I will check his site and if it is good add it to the C Compiler 
Documentation disk.

Thanks for the help, it is looking like this project is much larger than I 
planned to do so any help is very good.
