Getting back into C programming for CP/M


%%DESC%%

The Aztec C compiler presents the program with the conventional argc and argv arguments that represent the command line -- but they will all be in uppercase, whatever the user actually enters. When the program starts, the initialization code parses any redirection tokens on the command line, and sets up stdin, stdout, and stderr accordingly. A program consists of a "base" or "core" segment that remains in memory all the time, and a number of "overlays" that are loaded from disk as required.
