Hi @Gears of Games,

If the link is red then it's not currently a valid link. Are you clicking on one of those, or the page number? Thanks

I'm locking this thread as the user has asked for their account to be deleted.

It seems unusual to ask for assistance, get help and then delete your account.

Derek's C guide is very good. I'm not sure we need another one. I've read some of your previous guides though, they are great!

Re: HiSoft C programmers?

@_dw,

Many of your z88dk observations are answered in Derek's comprehensive guide. Z88dk was a mystery until I worked through it. The website documentation isn't great
