Black Label Jack Daniels maybe?

Most of the stuff I did in C, just worked once I had c.prep capable of 
handling big enough src files.  I have no clue where I even collected that 
library from.  In terms of debugging, what is now krnp4 is what I used, 
sprinkling calls to that here and there in my assembly code, mainly to make 
sure I was keeping the stack cleaned up properly. krnp4 is the F$RegDump 
call.

But are they still part of the coco world?  Some very useful code is now 
orphaned because we can't find the original author to ask him if we could 
change the license to GPL.  Heyu is one such, but because the original 
license is not GPL compatible, likely will never be part of a linux 
distribution.  The code itself is being actively maintained by another 
person.  I use it here for some lighting automation.
