RE: A89: Re: TI-GCC help needed
I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find the window documentation. I looked all
over www.ti.com/calc with no luck. Could someone please point me to a
specific URL.

Float means floating point numbers. If you really need them you could try
writing a header file for the 68882 simulation library (or whatever it's
called).

Everything in standard C is supported, not including I/O of course. It all
just
compiles to assembly anyway, and the calc definately supports that. :)

You might want to take a look at WinStr and the WF_TTY flag. It produces
terminal output (the good kind <grin>) in a window. The full TI window
system
documentation is available from ti.com.
