I tried porting SPLIT.C on the Atari ST under two different
compilers, Alcyon (developers) and Lattice. Alcyon worked, Lattice didn't.
Lattice
-------
o The fopen/fread/fwrite group is oriented towards text files,
and seems to choke when dealing with binary, even when the fopen
call uses the argument "rb"/"wb". A comment in the Lattice reference,
p103, about setting a global to force binary mode, seemed to have
no effect.
o Also, fprintf calls seem to choke on the "\n" character.
Alcyon
------
o Syntax change: fopen(name, xb) --> fopenb(name, x)
o the linker names three undefined symbols (seem to be library
functions), but it does not seem to affect the program.
