What characterizes a well-written computer program?

A Programmer's Guide to the Meaning of Life

Table Of Contents

I have built a "Table Of Contents" for what I feel are the best examples of things we've talked about here in the last couple of years. I hope you find this useful and interesting.

Windows (tc.exe) and Linux (tc) executables of the tiny-C interpreter

Libraries and other files used by tinyC that need to be in a directory named pps

library.tc, lrblib.tc, tc.prop, version.prop, mathLib.tc

Build scripts

buildPlugIn.bat, buildPlugIn.sh

tiny-C documentation and the machineCall.c source code module of the interpreter

The new classical tiny-C.doc machineCall.c

tiny-C and C programs (and Pascal and BASIC and Mouse and ...)
